August to June flew by...in some respects. In others it felt like the end of the year would never come. However, looking back on the year it's crazy to think how much stuff happened.

I am so nervous for what is to come, but I can't help but be excited too. Good things are to come. Sometimes you have to let go of something good because something better is around the corner. (I'll just keep telling myself that. :)

Done being emo...(for now).
The last post was...a little too emo for me. And I WROTE the thing. But, hey. It was what I was feeling and, hello...I have an English degree. I totally buy that "if you write it down it helps" theory. But, today I've decided that being emo and sad is terribly overrated and I like myself more when I am up as opposed to down and so, today I begin again.
While I know that certain things will haunt me for a while, and that I will have more afternoons on a certain friends porch talking, crying, laughing, and even yelling, I also know that I am more than this. And, I deserve more than this. I know this because I have people tripping over themselves to tell me these things. And today, I choose to believe THEM instead of the words of another.
Big changes are coming. And, while I'm not sure exactly when, how, and even in what form some of these changes will be occurring in, I am OK. 23 is a good year for some changes, I think.
Plus, If I'm going to stick with this whole "Trust the Universe" thing...I better shut up and just do it. I'm not a big one for horoscopes, but the past two weeks mine have been spot on. It does make you wonder what kind of crazy cosmic stuff is happening out there...and how it might affect our daily lives (I mean...teachers and health care professionals, we can't deny the power of a full moon, can we?)
Today:
Whatever you do today might open doors that will benefit both you and those close to you. Gird your loins and do whatever needs to be done. Later you'll be glad you did.
Tomorrow:
You feel especially focused right now, and your intellect and emotions are in accord with what you need to do to accomplish your goals. Your physical energy and enthusiasm are strong, as is your determination. Go for the gold.
Like I said, big changes. And I will be a better person for it.
