Today is my last full day in my dorm-room, before I enter the real world, and I have no plan to accomplish how I'm going to survive in it. This is both frightening and incredibly exciting. That in itself shows how much I have grown in over a year.
Being on my own has been the most satisfying and tumultuous path which I have walked. On this journey I have learned my most valuable life lessons, and made the most incredible connections. I have seen and lost love, I have gained and lost friends, I have learned to change my own tire, and many more adult milestones have I crossed at my year away from home.
I would call myself a very ambitious person, so creating plans is sort of my forte. I like knowing where I'm going, what I have to do, and why?
I'm not saying I'm going to neglect all of those for a life of pure spontaneity, but I've found myself in a position where I don't know where I'm going to live, I also don't know what I want to study, or do for work, and for right now that's fine with me. It might be time to take a moment and just breathe and figure out where to go next. I see the world before me, and it is limitless.
Although I'm not sure of the details in my life, I do know what I want the end result to be. I know where I want to be, and now I just have to figure out how to get there, and that's exciting.
Before I go, I just had to say that this journey wouldn't have been as incredible if it weren't for my friends and family, and especially my room mates to make it worth all the angst and trials. They are magnificent in every way. Each person has edified and enlightened me in every way, and I am so excited to see where they all go from here.
So, if any of you are reading this, please know that I am always in your corner. I may not always agree with you, and I have a problem with jumping to opinions too quickly, but I pray for your success and fulfillment in this life, and you are incredible.
To everyone I say "farewell for now, and adieu."
