this morning #1084.

this morning, at a minimum, i had at least a half-dozen reasons to be satisfied with the way that things had turned out. still, i found myself searching for something more instead of simply being thankful for. greedy for no real reason. feasibly, i could just revel in my success. after walking right up to the edge of failure, i’d finally made it this far. as of tomorrow, i’ll officially be the holder of a college diploma. despite this, i can’t get past the fact that nowhere on that diploma will there be mention of my “lost semester” or the “probationary periods.” as far as the college is concerned, these hiccups never happened. as far as i’m concerned, these times are reminders that i could’ve done better.
