Realizations
I am about to embark upon a new school year. This summer has been a very interesting and eventful summer. I think I've learned a tremendous amount from my experiences ever since I left Atlanta last semester, and I have become a product of these experiences. I have become a new and improved Arya. I'm bringing her to school with me, because, as pretentios as it sounds, I am very proud of who I have found myself to become in these past few months, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm not so sure everyone around me will be as happy as I am with my new perspective, but I live for me, and not for them, so in the end, it'll be just fine.
I have found life in Atlanta to be somewhat stagnating for the further development of my view on the world. I think what made me realize this was my stay in Texas. The fact that everything was so different, and I could adjust, fit in and love my surroundings just as much as I did here made me realize that I have been caught up in the same mind-frame and environment for the past three and a half years.
Over the span of my life, I have moved around a great deal. All of this changing of residences, and picking up and moving used to seem like a really big hassle to me, but now I've realized that that in itself was what kept my mind on it's toes. There is nothing more invigorating than moving into a completely different environment and learning more about different ways of life and adapting to them.
Taking all of this into consideration, I think the time has come for me to look for some other place to go, where my psyche and I can run free again.
