Opportunities Abounding

I've sort of had this insatiable need to blog lately. Probably because I'm at such a transitional point in my life right now, and I feel this underlying need to get a hold of myself and figure out what's happening in that big ol' head of mine.

But the result is a whole slew of blog posts that really never needed to happen.

Anyways, I have absolutely no clue where my weekend went. Today's Memorial Day, which means I had a long weekend. And no matter how much I set out to get done - or no matter how much I actually did get done - the past three or four days have felt really tranquil and uneventful in the best way possible.

I've sorta needed that. Like, a lot. I mean, you can see it in my second from last blog post. I haven't been doing my best with the whole "coping" thing, and I really needed an opportunity to step back and to just enjoy where I was. Because really, it's incredible how many opportunities I've been given, and when you're stuck with so many of the negatives while the positives are right around the corner, it's hard to see that.

My mom and I have had a whole slew of conversations about whether or not I'm really ready for college over the course of the past nine months. For the most part, she's been really really concerned that I'm not ready. But really, I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't going to college. I've been stuck in a place where I really don't belong for four years now, and while ultimately I'm happy, there's so much more out there.

I was sort of starting to lose hope that things could be different. This weekend helped to renew that.

Special thanks to Catitude, because they're awesome and stuff. (:
