True, for a while, we may feel like we’re stuck at ground zero, not feeling strong enough to wander out of our rooms or comfort zones. True, for a good long time, we may question if this was supposed to happen, if we could have done anything to prevent it all — but those questions will always be there to ask, and they don’t usually lead to anything productive.

Yes, your semester may have sucked, and you may still be struggling to deal with that fact. The first step, though, is to acknowledge that it’s okay that it sucked. It doesn’t reflect on you in the ways you think it does — it doesn’t mean that you failed or that you are not good enough.

Let life zig-zag when it needs to, because in the end, it means that you can only grow.
