Shifting Gears...

Well, all of my college transcripts have been gathered together and I'm going to be headed to a student advisor early next week. I'm hoping I only need 10-12 classes to finish my undergraduate degree. I'm definately keeping my fingers crossed. I must admit I'm at the same time exicted and nervous. It's been a long time since I've been in a college setting.

But, it is the first step towards getting home. And this first step has been coming for a long time. Too long if you ask me, but alot of healing needed to take place. I had to get a ton of baggage out of my life. Not to mention beat my head against a few walls, and fight some ghosts long since gone.

It's odd, I feel like a big chapter in my life is closing and another one opening. The chapter that is closing is comprised of 6 of the most intense years of my life, and I truly hope I never go through anything like them again.

But, I learned from each and every one of them. I did a ton of things wrong, and a few things correctly. I paid for each grain of wisdom in spades. But, overall it's working out for the greater good in my life. And that is a very good thing indeed.

Once again I'm headed into uncharted waters. The places on the ancient maps would state "there be dragons here" on unexplored areas. I can honestly say that I'm not afraid of it in the least, in fact I'm strangely excited by it. I honestly couldn't say that a few years ago. I was too busy licking my wounds, hiding out.

I just know that I'm sick of being shipwrecked where I am. Its time to set sail.

It's time to make my dreams, my reality.

Its time to do it now........
