Two and a half months into my internship at GQ, I’d like to think that this summer has brought me one step closer to wisdom and self-discovery. I’d like to think that I know who I want to be and what I want to do. Heck, if all else fails, at least I know that I can photocopy the shit out of life, right?
I can barely believe we’re six months into 2012. Summer is almost over and as sunny skies give way to cloudy heavens, I grow older. In 10 days, I’m going to get into my second year of college. But time is ever present, counting itself down – seconds, days, years – tik tok, tik tok. In the end, it’s the moments of joy, the little moments that take our breath away – they’re the ones that matter. They’re the ones that stay with us.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this summer, it’s the importance of finding what you love and doing it. Laugh on the good days, have a cupcake on the shitty ones. Nothing lasts forever. Breathe and let go.
