Lessons

During my years at my old job, day after day, I would be reminded of the fact that nothing rarely surprised me anymore. People would say/do/be absolutely crazy and one day I turned around to find myself immune to it all - he did what? Nope, not surprised. Perhaps I had become jaded. Me, the forever optimist, had become jaded. Fast forward a few years and here I am, less than 4 months from graduation, again on the cusp of major life changes. Business school, like undergrad held more important life lessons than anything we learned on a powerpoint (oh wait, we used transparencies during my undergrad years). In more recent months, I have seen the inner strength and beauty of some of my classmates I hardly know. The ones I do know have not ceased to amaze me either - and like every wonderful experience in life, I will never be the same again. Lessons on life, the challenges in life (rich or poor), love, pursuit of happiness, or living in the moment. There is something so beautiful in every experience and lesson I have learned from these people who have touched my life, and probably in ways they don’t even remember or might not even understand. But that’s okay. I hope I’ve been able to return the favor to others.

    When you try your best but you don’t succeed
    When you get what you want but not what you need
    When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
    Stuck in reverse

    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can’t replace
    When you love someone but it goes to waste
    could it be worse?

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    And high up above or down below
    When you’re too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you’ll never know
    Just what you’re worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Tears stream down on your face
    When you lose something you cannot replace
    Tears stream down your face
    And I

    Tears stream down on your face
    I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
    Tears stream down your face
    And I

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you.
