My blogging recently has obviously been pretty shotty, but a lot's happened in the past couple weeks:
1) Graduation, anyone? This whole spring semester had built up to that one day, that 5 seconds of walking across the stage, just to say that I'm officially done with college. That is, unless I decide to go back for grad school (which, at this point, is highly improbable). So, now...what's next?
2) I decided that I'm going to pursue my Cali dream and head west this July. July 10, to be exact. All that's left to do now is buy the one-way ticket. One way for right now, then making the trek in GYPPSY across the country (hopefully with Prissy being able to come, too). I've wanted this for two years now and it's finally approaching and I'm scared shitless. There's always a reason behind the fear, though. I've learned that if there isn't a sense of fear when you take new leaps, then there's a high probability that it's going to be mundane and predictable. I've seen my fair share of travel in the past couple years and I know that this is where I need to be at this point in my life. Taking the plunge, sink or swim time.
3) Got my first tattoo. Don't ever let one individual take control of your thoughts so much that it inhibits what you want to do. After wanting a tattoo of my Mimi's initials for 3 years, the wait was finally up. I have rid that part of myself that was tied down by another's opinion. And it was worth every second of the pain. My ode to freedom from you.
4) Moving out of the place I've called "home" the past 2 years. I've accumulated so much...stuff (mainly rocks, movies, and books)...that I'm thoroughly dreading this move out in a few weeks. But, on the other hand, I guess it'll give me something to do other than sit around and wait for work. It's been nice not having to worry about school, classes, etc., but sometimes it's good to have a little stress to keep me on track. This move out sure is starting to get to me.
5) I'm ready for the next step.
Needless to say, don't let anyone or anything hold you back from what you dream to do. Keep those you love close to your heart and let them know you're there. Always.
Wishing I were there.
