Sad Days

Sad days call for sad memories.

I work in developmental therapy. For the past 10 months I’ve worked with a particularly special client. Friday, however, brought around the end of my time in my current office. Not that I won’t be around to work with him once in a while, but I’m pretty much done here (well, minus the summers).

And so this brings me to my next lesson: submission isn’t just hard, it occasionally hurts. Bad.

You see, it’s not that easy for me to walk away and go to college. I’m leaving this person (that I’ve spent the 10 last months teaching) in the dust. Not that it’s wrong. I don’t believe it is. I believe that the next step for me is college. But that doesn’t make it hurt any less.

What things happen in your life that make you hurt?

What submissions have you made, or do you have to make, that hurt?
