This is the first birthday I've ever spent away from home. I woke up this morning, looked outside and saw snow all around. It's truly amazing. I never thought I was going to be able to see snow this winter. I just figured I'd have to wait until next. It's weird, because I feel like I've been living in a dream ever since I got here. Everything from the club/bar scene, to the people, to the scenery, etc has added to the dreamy atmosphere. "my skin is not my own," would be a perfect description of this. I already feel like I've left my past behind me and have moved on to find my future, and I haven't even moved yet.
I talked to my grandmother this morning, and she's nothing short of supportive of me moving. She thinks it'd be the best thing for me. On her 23rd birthday, she was in Corpus Christie, Texas. I realized that I no longer have to be envious of the rich, full life she's living, because I can now live my own the same way. I'm getting a late start, but I still have my entire life ahead of me.
