Change

Change is good. It gets you up and moving. It makes you think; about the past, the future.

I didn't choose to be alone, or away from home, but it gives me a new perspective of who I am, who I want to be, what I want to become. So for now, being alone just feels right. There's plenty for me to discover about myself, and what I am capable of, and it is exciting, and intimidating to be by myself.

Being out here... It gives me a chance to breathe, and walk on my own. It's a dangerous business, going out your door... But I need to do it. With it, change brings new life. And its never easy, and don't you, for one second think that its not painful. With every step I take I feel the pain deep within me, but I know that eventually it'll fade.

I have to find a life and define myself. I need to find who I really am, and its gonna be a while. But in the end, I know it will be for the better. Already I can see myself in a different light. My life is changing. I am more involved, participating in new activities, meeting new friends. And while this may come as a surprise to you, I like it. It's like a breath of fresh air. It's a breeze that caresses you, and cools you down on a warm summer afternoon.

Despite the pain... I like this change...
