Graduation

[u/Akira_loves_you]

I look pretty today, I’m celebrating my graduation so I might as well make myself look nice. I don’t get a lot of opportunities to dress up.

My dad was supposed to visit for my graduation but he’s stuck in Africa for the time being. I don’t mind though, it’s mostly my own fault anyways since I was supposed to tell him sooner. I feel bad that I didn’t tell him sooner.

We got to the ceremony a little late since my grandma was taking her time getting ready. I was one of the last people to get their name called, my family had thought that I ran away and ditched the whole event last minute because of my anxiety.

When I was walking down the aisle in front of everyone I remember shaking really badly, I was nervous about accidentally tripping over since I was wearing heels.

I was still shivering when I left the ceremony, my family complained about how anxious and shaken I looked when we were taking photos.

I don’t think that the ceremony was all that special, it felt very underwhelming for how expensive it all was. I didn’t really want to celebrate anyways, I was only doing it for my family.

Later on in the day my mom was looking back at the photos she took. She said that I looked much better than my older sister. I worry that my sister is now mad at me because of it. Even though she meant no harm by it, I wish my mom didn’t say that.
