8. Satisfying moment

My friend Rita and I discussed this right now, and the truth is, I don't think that anyone is ever really satisfied unless someone knows that there time is soon up. An old lady who's seen a lot of the world, loved hard and been love in return has lived enough to be satisfied but at the age of 20, there is still an entire life to live and I just want more and more.

However if I have to choose one moment of my life when everything was just perfect, I think I have to choose the day I graduated. May 1st of 2013, I was about to leave Kenya after the two most amazing years of my life, and I was devastated over that, but that moment I graduated, I was still in Kenya, surrounded by people who meant the world to me, and it made everything OK. I worked hard, probably harder than many others for personal reasons, I yet I got to stand there with my classmates and friends in my graduation hat and a champagne bottle in my hand. We just drank and laughed and had the best time. The day started early and I am not a morning person but I've never been more excited to get up in my whole life. My closest friends were in grades below me and they took me out for shots in the middle of the day and they made me feel so special and loved. Everything was perfect and I kept thinking all day that in right that moment, everything was perfect. I lived in the most beautiful country I'd ever seen, I had friends who celebrated with me and Saga's speech for me made me cry of happiness. My dad actually came down to see me and that meant so much and he also held an amazing speech, so THANKS DAD! I felt like I deserved to be in that moment and that just for that one day, life was good. It was satisfying. And if that would've been my last to live, then I would've been alright with that because I'd accomplished something that meant something to me, and had the most wonderful people with me along the way. That day was a great day and I will carry it with me for the rest of my life.
