Error On The Side Of Change

   I've written, erased, and re-written an opening post about six times now and honestly I'm still not sure if I like this, but we'll go with it. I'm an almost twenty somebody living out in the middle of somewhere trying to understand how the world works. I've got some amazing friends and an even more fantastic boyfriend. I'd like to think I'm a very lucky individual in that respect. I'm obsessed with a lot of stuff: tattoos, animals, history, and books to name a few. Blogging is not a new path for me, I've tried keeping up with it before and lost motivation almost as soon as I started. However, I fully intend on making this a lasting effort. I've kept journals, written bits and pieces of a short stories collection (I'm sure you'll get to read a few), and interned as a news journalist. Yet, with each new venture into writing, I've never just simply wrote about my life, the people in it, or the things that happen. 

     So here's where I'm at...

     Right now I'm starting a new journey, one that people normally begin before starting college. I'm on a path to find out where my passion is and how to apply that to a future career. I've recently made the tough decision to leave my college and start over at a different one. I learned the hard way that where I chose to go to school simply wasn't the right place for me to be. It's a tough thing to come to terms with, but, as with all change, it is/will be a good thing. As of right now, I'm not quite sure where I'll end up or what I'll be doing with my life in a semester, but I'm looking forward to discovering what I'm truly interested in. Choosing a school the first time around is a tough decision but having to make the choice a second time is nearly impossible. Not only am I choosing to leave a school, but I am also choosing to leave the friendships I made there. I know that in the end those that are true will remain, but I'm also worried I'll lose my best friend because I won't be there. 


     However...




     Challenge is the heart of the resistance to change. 


     That's my motto for all of this. Challenge. Growth.Change.Experience. I know that in the end, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
