 Writing my senior thesis was probably one of my biggest accomplishments thus far.  It's very difficult to create a coherent piece of work from start to finish.  I had been trying to write a "book" since I was in high school.  My drawers are filled with beginnings and endings, but nothing solid.  I remember when I handed my thesis into my professor last May, I burst into tears.  It was my baby.  I had done it.  Well, I think I'm ready to do it again.

I think I'm going to call it "The Year that Followed" and then put both pieces of work together.  They will complement each other, like sisters.  I don't think my thesis can stand alone anymore, not after everything that has happened since I wrote it.  (I will never change the words to Whatever Will Be, Will Be.  In it, I only say good things about C., and although that might sound weird now, it's how I felt and I won't change it.)

I need to write about Italy and the aftermath of the vacation.  I was compelled to put something together months ago, but I wasn't ready.  I'm strong enough now that I can write about this crazy year and appear stable and sane (appear being the keyword.)

When I share the past 8 months with others, the most common reaction I get is: "Oh my God.  You have to write a book."

Yes.  That's true.  So stay tuned.

p.s. He keeps calling, but I'm not ready to talk to him.  I don't know if I ever will be.  If you're reading this, of course I'm alive.  I'm more alive than I've been in a long time.
