Graduation day, not for me though. I've already done that. I meant in my city/old school. The entire city was alive and moving, a bright and sunny day, all the people were out. I was doing an errand, and got to hear that they graduated as I was leaving the house.
My clothes and haircut felt stupid. I wanted to be done as quickly as possible. I was terrified that someone would recognize me, and I would haft to endure to tell them I've been doing absolutley nothing and achieved nothing so far since last time we met.
I wasn't exactly sick to the stomach, but felt really bad seeing the students and listen to all the celebrations. I've already attended another graduation recently and felt kind of bad at that one too. It gets me thinking about my own graduation, how it could've been different, or why I wasn't able to celebrate like the others ... Not to mention, again, that I've done nothing so far.
Now, like my graduation, I'll haft to sit in my room and listen during the eveing and night at a distance, or in the neighbourhood, how they're celebrating. Thumping music and occasional roars of happiness. Sigh ...
