Dear Summer 2017

Dear Summer 2017,

I said farewell to you yesterday, on Labor Day. You were kind, mean and then you were kind again. 

I must say, these past three months made for an interesting New York City summer. Without giving away too much, I finally took the step to go to therapy. It was something I wanted to do for a long time. You know, I was functioning just fine but there were issues I wanted to take a deeper look into, with a professional, to become the best version of myself. Those Monday 3pm sessions were definitely worth it.

In my personal relationships, I finally learned to let go, let them naturally blossom and not be so controlling. I have the best platonic relationships any guy could ever ask for and I have always had them. However, it is having what I do not have or cannot have that entices me. For me that is having a long-term romantic relationship. Long story short, what I currently do not have is not a necessity and everything that I have is all that I need.

My professional life is one thing I have all the confidence in the world in. I work hard and I have faith that wherever I end up will be a true testament of success. I made the switch to an Arts & Entertainment Management minor; this is me accepting my passion and path into the music industry. This summer has slowly but surely shown some glowing signs of things to come. 

I do not know if it was psychological or physical but the recent Solar Eclipse gave me a new jolt of energy. My priorities have realigned as school reconvenes tomorrow. I reenter with a new focus and a goal of finishing up these last few semesters on a higher note because it has certainly been a struggle.

Farewell Summer 2017,

Chet.
