oh, life.


The past 5 months have been a crazy roller coaster I never really expected to hop on and ride out. I always talked about how stuck I felt while living in Tallahassee, but had mostly resigned to the fact that my life would be a sort of limbo until graduation. Well being home for the Summer, working hard at a job I loved, and being around the people that mattered sparked something inside that made me refuse to go back to live in the wasteland of Tallahassee, Florida. It literally hurt thinking about attempting to settle back in to a place that never really felt like a home.
After a week of convincing and gathering information, I was on my way to drastically changing the way the next two years of my life would pan out.
I tore my room apart, reorganized my life, started picking up babysitting jobs, and decided to never second guess my decision. Taking the Summer to really figure out what made me happy and what would continue to add that spark that had been missing was well worth it.
Sure, nothing is perfect. There are still nights spent eating cookie dough and watching 12 episodes of 30 Rock in a row and wondering where my friends are - oh, away at college- but I have another job I love, and slowly but surely starting to discover new things about myself.
