Touché to Déjà Vu

"The wheel is come full circle."

-Shakespeare

Touché, déjà vu. You got me this time, yet I am thinking this is not the first time? The feeling of reaching a full-circle is a recent phenomenon in my life that has left me feeling pure awe, and anything except speechless.

As I am typing up this post about becoming full-circle, I must emphasize the entirety of this circle in which I have completed. Even as I am typing up this post about becoming full-circle, the nature in which I am typing this post has also reached full-circle! Hence, touché, déjà vu.

Last year, my first blog post in 2011 was an analogy comparing the spontaneous arrival of snow falls to the spontaneous arrival of relationships. In that post, I had come to a fascinating realization as to why we allow relationships to come and go in our lives. In similarity to snow, we enjoy the presence of relationships even with knowing the full knowledge of the risks that relationships can consist of, how relationships can fall into our lives like snow and melt right away. Considering I am typing this post while it is snowing outside, this is one of the numerous reasons why I have reached full-circle. No, not only because of coincidental weather but also because what I was planning on writing about in the first place.

I started this blog about two years ago, and in these last two years, I have emphasized the importance of relationships: the relationships that have arrived and gone, and the significance of these relationships and what they have taught me. And in these last few weeks, I have encountered experiencing the other-side of a story that fit similarly to what I had gone through and blogged about before. Hence, full-circle. Hence, touché, déjà vu.

As my freshman year in college progressed, ever so naturally, I found myself within a central group of friends. And as our friendships progressed, ever so naturally, there was a clash. However, ever so naturally, this is not the first time I have found myself in a clash; and coincidentally enough, the last time I can relate to being in clash, I was on the other side. The other side in which I was in the wrong, the other side in which I realized my mistakes, learned from them, and gained the knowledge of which so that I would never hurt anyone or myself again.

Hence to reaching full-circle, and the feeling of fulfilling the circle: the phenomenon in my life that has left me feeling pure awe in fully understanding why my past is my past. Touché, déjà vu. You got me this time, and I am fully aware now that this will not be your last.
