It's been said that there is a time and a place for everything. And well I believe this true for people too. Not in the "you have no choice how your life ends up" way, but more a long the lines of how people tend to come in to our lives when we need them for whatever particular reason, just as we somehow find ourselves in the life of other people when we feel like we have something to offer them.
I also believe this saying for people in the way my great-grandmother put best that "every dog will have his day" but normally because of the reason she felt to state this saying she always followed that with "but you are just a pup."
My post-grad blues find me now because I'm not sure if I "am just a pup" anymore. Have I already been the most useful I can be? Has that "a time and a place" moment already lead itself into my life? Why do I feel so useless to society right now? I've always felt as though I was made to do something spectacular for people's embetterment everywhere, but maybe it was a smaller scale of people than I thought...I'd like to at least believe that I made some positive difference or impact to the people that have been in my life so far but does that mean that that is it for me?
I'm starting to think not, but I guess only time will tell.
Post-Grad Blues...what should I do with my now educated life...society (and most adults, my mom included) say I should get a job but unfortunately the economy says there is little hope for that right now. More than anything I wish I could be a professional learner...one can dream.
So I've come to perhaps a conclusion just to comfort myself...but nonetheless, it must be true that we as human beings can have many instances of us having "a time and a place." To beleive that you can only have "15 minutes of fame" so to say, is just depressing and unrealistic in the terms of making an impact. Anybody, at anytime can make even the slightest difference in or on the world, you just have to accept the moment and embrace the situation. Carpe Diem right?
Perhaps just living in a way that not only makes you happy but makes the world a better place is what our time and place is all about. Perhaps even, the time and place is infinitly in exisitance, we just have to find the courage and inpiration to bark loud enough.
So I have found the cure to post-grad blues...Knowing that a time and a place for me is, always has been and always will be every moment as long as I am living. If in fact every dog has his day, I am sure glad I am not a dog.
