Visiting with a childhood friend before she goes off to the Netherlands for two years. I'm incredibly nervous???

@Sparrow If it's okay to ask, what makes you nervous?

@mawr mostly I just haven't seen her in ages, and I'm embarrassed to do the whole "oh you're going to grad school in the Netherlands? Coooool. I just graduated college and idk what I'm doing with my life."

@Sparrow The truth is, none of us really know what we're doing with our lives. Your friend's got a plan that covers the next 2 years, but none of us can be sure of anything after graduation -- from grad school or otherwise.

We all share our highlight reels to each other, it's easy to let that make us feel like we're faltering when it's all we have to compare against. :<

@mawr that's very true. :3 thank you for that. ✨
