As I watch the rainfall, the hot air around me fills me with electricity. The first summer storm has hit, and it marks a great day to make a splash. Time to disrupt the calm water that I have been trying not to disturbed. It is time to make a bit of precipitation in my life. Change and accountability are needed before I make my next move. I have been so afraid to change things in my life that I just sit back and watch everyone else live their lives. I became comfortable with the way things were, but this is life, and the waters do not always stay calm. My life has been shaken up. I was shaken up in an unexpected way that knocked me over. At the same time, my life has been shaken up in and exciting way.Those two changes have made big waves in my calm life, and I need something to focus my attention on to make it all worth it.
I need to start growing, and I need to accept the things that have happened and move on. I need a positive outlet. This blog is my outlet. I have always loved reading, and it has always taken me away from my problems and placed me in a new world that I could handle. Because of this I have chosen to go to school for creative writing. College is the step that I am ready for and excited for this new step. I have already received my AA from a community college while living at home. My new odyssey is to a new state and a new way of life. I am nervous but extremely excited.
Before I leave for school, I have some things that I want to finish. I want to make a dent in my bookshelf. I have so many YA books that I bought throughout the years and never read. I want to finish some of them before I have to leave them at home.
We all have things that we need to work through, and I feel like this is my platform to work on mine. Short stories, book reviews, concert commentary, food and drink experiences (newly 21, yippee), my journey to school and many other things are to come so hop on and join me for this mess I am about to make.
So please join me on this helter-skelter of an odyssey.
