YYYLAB FINAL SYDNEY KRAMER

I’LL GLADLY TRY FOODS I WOULDN’T TEN YEARS AGO, AND FIND

MAJORITY OF THEM. AS WE PALATES DEVELOP, THERE

“BAD” TASTES, JUST

WOULDN’T HAVE TOUCHED

FIND I CAN APPRECIATE THE WE GET OLDER AND OUR THERE ARE LESS “GOOD OR

JUST DIFFERENT ONES.

THE WORLD IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN I ONCE THOUGHT, AND THERE IS SO LITTLE UNDER MY CONTROL. I

FEEL HELPLESS AT THE WORLD’S EXPENSE.

THERE’S VERY LITTLE WITHIN YOUR CONTROL. ACCEPT WHAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL AND INVEST PASSION AND CARE INTO THE THINGS YOU CAN. GO WHERE THE WORLD TAKES YOU.

GRIEF IS INEVITABLE. I SEE IT IN EVERYTHING. HOW DO YOU EVEN BEGIN TO DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOSE AND THE PLACES YOU NO LONGER VISIT?

GRIEF IS PROOF THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF LOVING. EMBRACE IT. GRIEF AND LOVE ARE LIKE TWO DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.

I CAN’T TELL IF I’M MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER LIVES I COULD BE LIVING.

THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG DECISIONS. THE ONLY TRULY WRONG DECISIONS ARE THE ONES YOU MAKE PASSIVELY OR HALFHEARTEDLY.

I MISS HOW THINGS USED TO BE. I MISS BEING CAREFREE AND UNSCATHED, AND MISS LISTENING TO THE CRICKETS CHIRP OUTSIDE

OF MY CHILDHOOD BEDROOM.

TIME MOVES FORWARD, THINGS COMPLICATE AS WE GET OLDER. LEAN INTO YOUR ADULT YEARS WITH A CHILD’S OVERWHELMING LOVE FOR LIFE.

I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE MISTAKES

I’VE MADE. SOME NIGHTS IT FEELS LIKE THE GUILT MIGHT SWALLOW ME WHOLE.

MISTAKES ARE INEVITABLE. WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THEM? HOW CAN YOU DO BETTER NEXT TIME? YOU ARE VERY YOUNG AND ARE LEARNING HOW TO NAVIGATE LIFE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I’LL BE IN A YEAR.
