My internship with IBM ended on the 31st of March. The journey was an eye-opener for me in many ways. The long hours glued to the desk did get to me at times but the people around me, including the managers have been really encouraging and supportive in so many ways. The end of this internship marks the start of a much needed break for me. Yesterday was my first day without work and I must say, the morning coffee and bread certainly tasted better. I did manage to sit down and think through my life and the stuff I have accomplished and I have come to realized that my life as a whole has stagnated since the end of secondary school. I got way to caught up in the stuff that didn't matter and I guess that snowballed and ended up ruining all the beautiful plans I had. I was pretty upset over it but I guess crying over spilled milk isn't going to help much. Everybody needs a sob story to tell when they're successful in the future and I hope mine ends here. I did share some of my grievances with close friends and relatives out there. The faith and believe you all have in me is remarkable and is something I will feed upon as I go along. Thanks for the encouragement for it really means a lot.
Journey
The darkest storms will come to fade
The strongest winds will cease to blow
The fiercest fires will soon die out
The darkest nights will too light up
The journey till now has been bleak
Not a watering hole crossed thus far
Not an oasis even in sight
My throat is dry
My legs are weak
My strength too dips with each step I take
A cool breeze blows amidst the searing heat
Upon it I hear the words you speak
Never falter, Hold your course
The darkest storms will come to fade
The strongest winds will cease to blow
The fiercest fires will soon die out
The darkest nights will too light up
Your words though simple are all I need
For me to push on till I find what I seek
