Finishing Up (Part 2)

I recently made a blog post about how I feel a sense of dread and nervousness coming up on the end of anything that I do, and I’m here a month later to tell you that I’ve finished several things that I’m proud of in that time. I finished my business plan and presented it for my Master’s program with Full Sail University. I finished several  songs that I can actually listen to happily. I spent some intentional time at the beach, some intentional time with friends, and I feel like with all of those things combined, I don’t feel that same sense of dread and incompetence. I finished a master’s program, and I passed with flying colors the whole way through. 

For once, it feels like I actually believe in myself and my skills, because looking back, I’m able to see the progress I’ve made. I spent a little while in every class questioning if it was something that I still wanted to do, and I think that’s normal, but that questioning made me reassure myself that I can complete something that I set my mind out to do. It pushed me to work hard in every class so that I could complete every assignment on time, and to better organize and manage my own time outside of my classwork time.

I don’t fear endings anymore. I can face things that challenge me, and I can handle them head-on, and I can get things done, and this Master’s program proved that to me. Now I actually feel ready to go out into the world and apply everything I’ve learned, and that’s a great feeling.
