"…when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools."
-William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
no more wishing my life away.
no more missing this and missing that.
no more being homesick for alabama, or homesick for d.c.
no more worrying about things i can't control. worrying is fruitless. i have faith in myself, and faith in god's plan for my life. whatever happens, happens. things might not go my way--but they always end up working out.
i'm just tired of obssessing over things. it's no way to live.
i'm now taking everyday one step at a time. i'll live in the moment, but plan for the future. make goals--but expect nothing. i can depend only on myself. i can trust only myself. and there is never any need to worry.
everything that is worrying me, it will work out.
i'm finally embracing growing up. no matter how much i've tried to avoid it, it's inevitable. and since i have to do it--i'm going through it with the right attitude.
i refuse to regret. and being disappointed in myself stops now.
i'm moving on.
[edit]: "even if i live to be 102, i just don't think i could ever get over you."
