This is not me "opening up," after that last post. This is me stating stuff I've found. You can puzzle it out if you really want to. But don't ask me cause I'm not gonna open up right now.

A graduation ceremony is a cultural tradition termed as a rite of passage. What’s that? It is a ritual or ceremony that marks one stage of a person’s life into another. Marriage is the most commonly known and observed today. “Rite of passage” was termed by anthropologist Arnold van Gennep in 1909 who believed that passage rituals had 3 steps: 1) separation from society 2) inculcation-transformation 3) return to society in the new status.

Here's the other thing:

"They say there's a poem at the temple that is carved in stone. Its title is 'Loss' and it consists of only three words. But no one can read them because the poet scratched them out. No one can read 'Loss,' it can only be felt." ~Memoirs of a Geisha

and then there's something else that pulled my heart strings for reasons you can puzzle out on your own. Because: Puhasol: growing up is hard to do

arwenundomiel9: lately... i've been wanting to go somewhere... anywhere but here. but someone told me once not to run from anything. if i'm going to run, i should run towards something... i just haven't figured that something out yet
