Welcome

Hello, what's up, welcome to the beginning
of the rest of your life.
I hope you enjoyed the journey up until now
because now life moves at a speed you probably aren't ready for.

Along the way, you'll love, learn, and fail.
You'll work, and work, and work some more.
You'll find happiness, encounter sadness, defeat loneliness
but also fall victim to hubris.

But that shouldn't get you down!
You have plenty to see and do,
that is unless you die early of heart failure
or diabetes, or something else.

You see those guys who stand over there, they are your new bunch of friends.
Most of them will be cool, some will appear cool and turn out to be douchebags
while others may start as people you despise, but you grow to care for.
But don't forget the others... no, those who were with you on the way here.
Werther or not you've seen them 10 minutes or 10 years ago.
Those were the best days of your life, live them like they were just that

Appriciate those who follow you.
Realize that it is not just you that you live for.
You are here to count for anyone before or after you.
Seems like a big responsibility huh?

But all you need to remember in the end is this.
Life is great, just don't let it bog you down.
It's not the end of the world...
just wake up and realize that today is the next chance for you to make a difference!
