Three days from now my last conference championships will be underway. And in six days my competitive swimming career will be over.
Growing up I never did once think about when this was going to end. I just assumed I'd be swimming for the rest of my life (and I do plan to still), but as my last season draws near, a new beginning comes forth.
A beginning of a life that no longer has me swimming day in and day out. A life that I now must begin to live on my own after college. As well as a new chapter in my life concerning the realm of dating.
Don't get me wrong, I'm nervous for all this because who knows what's in store for me. But I'm also excited to see what is going to happen.
Thinking of the title for this post, it made me think of one mythical creature: the phoenix. For out of the ashes, new life is born. And thus out of the end of my swim career, rises a new chapter of my life.
I'm not entirely ready for what's going to happen, but I know whatever does happen I'll be watched over by my heavenly Father.
