A Bitter End

The circle is complete. The wheel has spun round again.
When first V-Dude and I started this blog, this testament to angst and humour, my first stand-alone article was a bitterness-tinged quasi-play about a farewell gone wrong.
Now, the wheel has spun round. One revolution.
Now it is I who face the farewell. To mark the end of my Engineering. And a phase of my life.
A farewell bittersweet, but a life gone wrong?
Today as I sit, the bitterness is still there, the pain, the sorrow of missed opportunities and too-much-hope. But it is quieter, I am quieter.
More things have disappeared than appeared. More plans have gone down the drain than survived.
College, that entity which some miss, now becomes a large gray area in my memory.
A great man wrote, "What might have been is an abstraction, remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present."
The end is now.
And I write this, with the decision made in my mind, to sit tight, to forget, to forgive.
To begin again.

start. afresh. with a different attitude. and not a cynical or self piteous one. one of optimism and open-mindedness (if such a word does in fact exist).
