After Graduation

No one told me after graduation I might feel depressed. After attending my last class, meeting all the deadlines for finals, joining my classmates in celebration for the occasion, there was an absence. I was happy to have my schedule a little more open, but I also felt an emptiness. A friend who has already been through the process shared that this was a common experience after graduation, in that space between finishing one thing and starting something new. I breathed into that new information and allowed myself to rest until I didn’t need to anymore. I will adjust into this space between as I anticipate my next step. -JeKaren Olaoya (CLF)

How can you breathe into something new today?
