The Terrifying Journey Of Life.

Life is a scary thing. The future is a mystery, the past haunts you, and the present shocks you. I've been finding lately that I go back and fourth between being scared of my current reality and being shocked by it's very existence. I've been working hard to get to where I am now. It wasn't so long ago that I was graduating from high school and starting community college. Back then I had a lot of things to deal with that caused me to really see the world for all of its heart ache and pain. But I also really started to see the beauty in it as well. For the first time, I really saw things. But now I'm about to graduate university. I've done so much in the past 5 years. I've moved a lot. I've seen a lot. Sometimes I can't believe I've accomplished as much as I have. I knew that there were certain things I wanted to do, but I never knew if I'd actually do them. So sometimes when I look around at where I live and what I'm doing and what I've done, I'm in shock. But then I think about what I have to do next, which is crazy scary. I got through the stuff that may have seemed hard at the time, but I don't think it's anything compared to what comes next. Once I graduate, thats it. I'm in the real world. I'll have more responsibilities and more expectations. Sometimes I think i'm ready for it and sometimes I don't know if i'll ever be ready.

A Romantic.

“I'm not sentimental--I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald
