:D
I feel intensely positive about life. And mostly have for a while now.
It's not because things are perfect, there are definitely some not so good things, but I feel like I have already conquered so much that has come to me in life that I can do whatever else I need to.
I have a plan that I'm working on...a real plan, not some daydreamy fantasy. It will take a while, but it will help me to progress towards a real future doing what will make me happy.
I've had trouble in the past dealing with the fact I didn't shift directly from undergrad to graduate school and feelings of wanting everything to happen now. But I'm over it. I'm only 22, there is so much time in the world, and I've already been able to complete a lot that others are unable to. Also, the time I spent this summer without obligations to school or work allowed me to center myself. I feel better as a person than I probably ever have before. Yes, bad things happen and it's okay to not always feel overwhelmingly joyful. I overcame one of the most devastating experiences in my life and have spent the last few years growing ever further from that place. If I could reinvent myself to become who I am now then I can handle whatever comes next.
My path isn't everyone's, but I'll never give up.
