You always have a prospect that by your grade 12 year, after
graduation, you’d have acquired a certain development of skills, established all
your passions and founded talents that would set the stage for your future
after high-school.
Up till the beginning of this year, I was beyond satisfied
with this expectation. With plans to play varsity, beat the odds to study
business, independently set out to build new experiences, while maintaining
long lasting relationships along the way, everything I’d worked towards was
about to pay off... But things change.
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything, that we’re free to
do anything.” – Tyler Durden
I certainly haven’t lost everything...
but at this age, lifestyle changes are harder to accept, even if the losses are
minimal. And although I can’t entirely familiarize
myself with Tyler Durden, I feel as if my series of physical, mental and
emotional losses have slowly amended my previous set plans for the future; I
certainly don’t feel free to do anything, but my losses have helped to create a
clean slate where I can develop new skills, re-establish passions, feel more
free to do anything knowing I don’t have much more to lose.
I don’t plan on blowing up financial sky-scrapers like Mr.
Durden, but I do intend to accomplish more than I had planned, before I began
to lose what I had.
“God Damn! We just had a near-life experience, fellas.” –
Tyler Durden

my last intenseive phase before
