“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space."
-Italo Calvina "Invisible Cities"
Here in my last year of my undergraduate degree, I'm realizing the little world I've built around me is full of people and things that are not inferno, even in the midst of being in one. I have no idea how I got so lucky.
So, in my senior year things have started off with late nights, churro runs, and many a freakout about what to do with life. But at least I have great people around me that make me laugh each and every day and are willing to do ridiculous things with me on the daily.
And we never know what will happen with these boys living so close
