It's somewhat weird that my first full-time job starts tomorrow. The fact that it's not the most prestigious gig doesn't help either. Nonetheless, I am thankful that I found a paying job somewhat quickly, and I am thankful that it is close to my present location.
Recently I've realized that in my struggle to cope with this gap year and the liminal in general, I need to slow things down and enjoy the present more. I'm in a hurry to find out my next step of life, to move on to independent living, to be able to tell people what I'm currently up to without dreading doing so. This period of life, as unappreciated as it generally is by all who share it, is still unique and valuable as a growing process. Although it's harder to discover how exactly that growth is supposed to happen, I think being grounded in humility is a beginning.
Cheers to new stages in life and being able to appreciate them despite their frustrations.

I'll drink to that, my good friend. That probably means we should go out drinking tonight
