I Remember Looking at this View

I remember looking at this view when I first decided to come to grad school here. 
I remember looking at this view after the first day of orientation feeling lost and confused. 

I remember looking at this view throughout the first semester when anxiety and depression had me hiding 

I remember looking at this view throughout the first semester when I was writing again and feeling freer 

I remember looking at this view in the winter when depression had me in a black hole 

I remember looking at this view in the spring starting to feel alive and hope again 

I looked at this view today and saw how far I came. 

I am hoping to look at this view in August completing my capstone and looking to the future. 

Views have a way of reminding us where we are and where we are going.
