Goodbye, Halcyon Days. I remember reading this phrase a long time ago (I wonder if anyone recognises it?), and it’s always stuck with me. I’ve always felt that there’s just something quite hauntingly beautiful about those three words, and when WordPress asked me to name my blog, they just sort of floated into my head. So I used it.
it’s kind of ironic that I’m writing this the day after I have finished my university career. So I guess that this first post is going to be some sort of overly melodramatic load of crap about me reflecting on how I feel after I’ve finished this education section of my life. So all of you are welcome to stop reading now if you haven’t already clicked away. I apologize, and promise that my future posts will be slightly more interesting. But I just wanted to write something down in public domain. Because, yes, I am this narcissistic.
I guess I can say that since I finished my (hopefully) final exam, I’ve been feeling this slight sense of emptiness, as if I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do anymore. Maybe I’m lost. But most likely, I’m just being melodramatic and not wanting to adapt to change. But when I think about it, I do feel like I have finished a strange chapter in my life, dedicated to educating myself to prepare me for the next stage of life. So hence, I am leaving something behind.
I also wonder how much I have changed since 5 years ago, when I finished high school. I’d like to think I’ve changed, for the better, but I can’t be the judge of that. Or can I? Screw it, I can. I have. I’m much more awesome now. But I guess that chances are, if you’re still reading this, you’ve encountered me somewhere along the way, and chances are that you have contributed to my life in some way, shape or form, so, Thank You.
I was going to reflect some more about some stuff, but I can’t really think of anything anymore, and this post is more for my own benefit than for anything else, so I think I’ll just leave it there. I really don’t care if this is the most pretentious thing I’ve ever written, and I will probably be extremely embarrassed about this tomorrow, but as of now, I don’t care. This was a rant, reflection, stream of consciousness narrative, whatever you want to call it. But it is how I’m feeling, so I wanted to get it out there. Because…well…YOLO. Right?
Goodbye ~ Halcyon Days
