what now?

It’s the question of every graduate, every job seeker, every parent to be. The end is always a start, and the start eventually leads to an end.

Since we know that truth so well, the care given into answering the question of “what now?” is ambiguously ambivalent. The world of crossroads and choices. The luxury of choice. The burden of privileged perfection.

The world is our oyster yet I’m embedded in the flesh of my protective shell.

what now?

Yet all I wanted was the answer for how.
