It feels good to make the right decisions.
Monday afternoon at the end of the first month of the year which I am nineteen.
At the moment, all is well in my world.
Being that I am willing to admit this, things should soon fall away from this sense.
I enjoyed a relaxing weekend highlighted by the presence of Yardly on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.
And, I am efficiently and honestly completing all of my school work with honors level diligence.
My art work is thriving, as I finally feel alive and relaxed in this environment.
It is never difficult for one to find beauty if one is searching.
I never search, I just accept it for what it may be - extracting the beauty that exists within all.
Solidifying the relationships I have created over the past seven months has also established a sense of wholeness, as before I would often feel empty and alone.
Turning away from the negative options college has to offer, and the world in general, proved me a strong individual in the senses I had not obtained in my past.
Skateboarding has opened a new door, and each day reveals itself more.
As always, I have skateboarded, but now, I am expanding and taking it to a new level.
We skate the parks around Jacksonville, and being with these boys it so nice because they all have heart.
Their dedication translates onto me, and I am striving to become an accomplished skateboarder.
Or, at least land several tricks often foreign to the ladies of the industry.
[We skated Emerson for a few, and I managed to drop all of the ramps. This was my first time at a skate park where I rode everything. I even did a ten foot half-pipe. Yea, I fell plenty of times, and my legs, knees, and shins are bruised as fuck and hurt like hell, but it felt so good. Then we went downtown and tried a few ledges and a huge wall while the speedy traffic was pulsating on all sides of us, as we were under an overpass. Later, we ended up going to a two, three, five, and seven step set. I completed only the two and tried the three, while Will nailed the five. The drive back was cold in the open Jeep, but I had a nice sense of accomplishment accompanying my aching body.]
