I graduated from
university today
I want to thank my parents,
My friends, and everyone else
Who helped me to get here
But most of all I want to thank
My past selves for not giving up
Despite everything
This achievement is dedicated
to the
10 year old who continued on
Despite not knowing what tomorrow looked like
To the
16 year old who lost sleep thinking
About the future
And what it holds
Girls,
By God's grace
We made it!
I'm sure one day
I'll be thanking
my 22 year old self
As well!

I can't believe I'm done! I wrote this poem 2 months ago when things didn't seem this severe. So now it feels anti climatic due to COVID but regardless I'm happy I'm done. I have no idea what future is going to bring but I'm sure it will be okay, eventually.
