Dear Jeff,
I’m writing to you because I heard around the grapevine that you listen. I think you are in a good place right now. Not a great place, but a good place.
You’ve done a lot this semester, and I honestly, you’ve been a little too harsh on yourself.
Did I get a 4.0 GPA? No. But at least I won’t be regretting the fact that I never put myself out there and be questioning “What if?” in all the opportunities that I would have easily passed up on just a year ago, or even just a few months ago.
The only time I regret not studying more for a test is immediately after the test, and that regret lasts maybe a few hours at most.
To this day, I still regret not asking asking out my best friend in high school to prom, or asking out that pretty girl in high school, or starting that poetry club I always wanted to start, or performing poetry, or learning to dance, play more violin, learn to drive, travel more…
You get the idea.
Your life will continue to spiral. The cycle will continue. Just remember to rebound when you hit the trough, and make sure to really enjoy those peaks.
Anyways, I’m ready to keep on keeping on. To keep trying. To putting myself out there into life. To be a Good Jeff Wang, in my own way. How do you like them apples?
