Something is different tonight.
I did something scary. Something I've worried about, something I've feared. And yet I know it was the right thing.
For the first time, I told someone how I really felt. And while the timing wasn't perhaps ideal, the fact that this was even possible astounds me. I don't know where this is going now, it's out of my hands - and perhaps not coincidental that my preparations to leave this place are coming to fruition at about the same time.
I think that I've finally started learning the lesson I came here to learn, just in time for the next great adventure of life to commence. And wherever the winds may take me, let the way be swift and sure to the horizon.
