Where I’m standing. ((June 2nd, 2010))

Tonight is the night before valedictory. The end to my high school years, the end to what I have gained and lost throughout these 5 years. Many things have changed, and once again, I’m sitting here anticipating an epiphany.

Time just flies. In fact, I think I tried to understand that concept a bit too well that when things are happening, I feel like it’s already finished. Right now, I’m not excited nor am I feeling much for valedictory. I know I probably will, but like the experience in Mongolia, when a million things are coming together in your mind, it will just end up being blank.

I’m not sure what this all means.

One thing I’m sure of is that I walk on the streets as someone that I’m comfortable with. I think (most of the time) before I speak and I see things in many perspectives. Moreover, I gained patience and became better at calming myself down.

What’s the hassle? What’s with fights and arguments?
I must admit that I still experience times when I would be human all over again, but being human is no excuse.

I don’t know what the end of high school really means, but I feel like I need to thank everyone and everything that was part of it.

Sincerely and truly from the heart, thank you to all the mongols, every stranger that I’ve passed by and every friend that came into my life.

Just because I can’t speak pretty words, I will paste lyrics from a song that my friend showed me to represent what I would like to say. I will make a promise here. I promise to live my life by passion. Lastly, I promise to live my life by what I believe in.

“I believe in nothing
Not the end and not the start

I believe in nothing
Not the earth and not the stars

I believe in nothing
Not the day and not the dark

I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts

I believe in nothing
Not in peace and not in war

I believe in nothing
But the truth in who we are”

And that’s it.

Congratulations to the graduates of 2010.
