BEING HUMAN
A Guide to Living Deeply
The looming pressure of getting thrown into ‘the real world’ upon graduating from college is the physical equivalent to a lion den. You're flooded with fear. Fear of the future, fear of the unknown, fear, perhaps, of leaving the new life you created to return to one that you've outgrown. From the failures to the fabulous, here’s how to survive (and thrive) in #postgradlife.
The reality of relationships is often kept under wraps from the public eye as we each put our epic portrait of ‘normal love’ forward. We can all taste the beauty of love by debunking the narrative of normal we will finally find freedom. We learn the lessons of love by living through the complexity of it all.
All of our lives we go on waiting for the day that we get to break away from our pasts, to escape our childhoods and join a new and improved realm of adulthood- as if it’s that easy…as if going to college makes us adults. So we run away as fast as we can, searching for ourselves in new places.
By definition, once you hit 18, you've made it to adulthood. But as a fresh and free twentysomething, our brains are battling between our need for spontaneity and stability all the same. For freedom and for faithfulness. We're searching for the one and hoping to find ourselves along the way, too.
