Maybe graduate school is a time for people to tell you a single universal truth, and maybe you only get that truth once, and maybe if you don’t listen hard enough, you miss it entirely. Maybe you spend years defining yourself as a writer, or a painter, or a scientist, or a doctor, but when it comes time to write, paint, experiment, or operate, you want it so bad that you kill it before it has a chance to breathe.
And maybe, on nights such as these, you learn that the single universal truth reveals exactly what you don’t want to hear.
I wonder, really, if in the end, it isn't a huge favor.
