Hello, I’ve waited here for you everlong.
To think, here I am, finally, after waiting for what seems like forever. I have always found that I find exactly what I need when I don’t realize I am looking. Certainly, this was no exception. The most wonderful things can grow out of the smallest of ideas, the smallest chance. In a period of not even really knowing what it was that I was seeking, I found the perfect solution. Years in the making? Perhaps. It doesn’t matter.
Life has a funny way of working itself out. Some things are too big to be coincidence, I think. A series of little things that add into the perfect storm. Of all of the ways this could have gone, I have found myself heading to the one place I never knew I’d find exactly what I never knew I was seeking in the first place. Any sooner and I wouldn’t have understood why this is absolutely perfect. Any later and I would have never looked back.
There is a long way to go, certainly. But I always knew this day would come and I always knew it would be absolutely worth the wait. I didn’t know when it would be — months, years from now. Decades. But I knew that it was a long time coming and there’s a long way I must be going. But every piece of this journey has taught me more than I could have ever learned in school.
When something is right, it falls into place. We took a difficult path in getting here. All of us. Everyone who lived this with me. Everyone who watched, helped, laughed, followed, and hoped with me. This is the culmination but this is far, far from the end. With this trajectory, I doubt there ever will be.
