Grad ’09.

Thank you, thank you. You’ve all been far too kind.

Five years, not too long, not too short. Have many more five years to come, but at the same time, really, how many more five years do we have in life? Things seem to go by in a blur. Prom, afterprom, grad ceremony, everything is done, and I’m officially finished with high school. I should be overjoyed and jumping up and down because I finally got out of that hellhole also known as Prince of Wales Secondary, but knowing that I would not return to that familiar setting somehow depresses me. It’s a weird feeling, like you’ve lost something permanently. I guess the uncertainty in my future plays a large part in how I feel right now. Everyone else is going somewhere, whether staying in Vancouver or going to other faraway places. I’m still stranded in between of nowhere.

So many people are leaving while many others are staying. I’ll miss many of my friends, especially those that are dear to my heart and are going to far far places. I really wish them best of luck and hope that we can keep in touch. But more likely than not, the only times we are going to see each other is during high school reunions in the far future, maybe after another five years in life.

It’s necessary to move on in life, but I guess sometimes it’s also necessary to look back and enjoy what you have gone through, and lament what you could have done better. However, most importantly, we should take those lessons and good times, and apply them in the future.

There’s many grammar mistakes and such, but I’m just writing in stream of consciousness, so damn all grammar to hell.

His Excellency,

Jerry Theophany Lin.
