Congratulations, Amy!! (I’m sorry that this is a bit late–I was travelling for a little bit and had a lot of things to catch up on upon returning.)

Looking back, I feel as though I spent a lot of my time in college trying to find my place (I didn’t really feel like I belonged in that wider community either), and eventually, in some respects, I did. But it’s in this post-college life that I’ve felt far, far more centred and found myself surrounded with good, good people. So all this is to say that you will find what you’re looking for. It might just take some time.

I was talking with Ken (my studio professor last quarter) the other day, and it seems every time I do he makes me panic about what I’m doing with my life — he’ll ask about grad school, about what I want to do after I graduate/ larger goals with architecture… and then I was talking about how I’m nervous I’ll get too comfortable working, and about the fear of not going back to school because now it’s just the rest of my life. And he was like, “No! People think ending school changes things but it doesn’t. It only does if you make it. Don’t be bored, you need to stay excited.” He talked about how we’ll never be as young/ free from responsibilities as now, and now’s the time to travel, and to collect as much experience as possible figuring out what makes us most excited…. Don’t think that was that helpful… but basically we/you are young. You are interesting and excited about everything but the big things… but not forever!

I watched this morning, and it’s really hitting home today. I wish someone had said this to me in my early 20s. You’re not supposed to have it all figured out, but as long as you start doing something, you’ll end up alright.

PS. Super congrats are in order. Graduation looks good on you.

Makes me sad and happy at the same time. Beautiful poem, especially the last line.

Oh! I do like that poem. Hope there’s something cool around the corner for you. I still don’t have it all figured out!

That’s beautiful Amy! Crossroads are not easy, but you’ll know when the right and worthy direction presents itself. There’s no rush. And I love your philosophical side!
