Surreal Reality
I cleaned out my locker some more today. I am down the bare minimum. I am only keeping things I absolutely need. It feels surreal. I can't believe I am at the final stage of my journey. I am anxious but excited at the same time. I happy but sad as well. That is the polarity of life.
A Reflection on Greatness
This morning has been so emotional for me. I have been thinking about greatness. It actually started about two days ago. I have been witnessing and hearing about toxic relationships, withholding of love, etc. Then today I woke up and saw three things that made me reflect on greatness. First, I saw a piece on ESPN about Fisk University's gymnastics team. They are the first HBCU to have one. Then I saw the UCA High School Nationals and the ESPN series on Michael Jordan-The Last Dance.
Temporary Release
My anxiety is increasing by the day as I prepare to leave on a furlough. I now see what those who were going home for good were talking about. There is the fear of something happening, something changing at the last minute, and your opportunity being taken.
