be brave

i found out yesterday that i’m going to have to leave here sooner than i thought. my brother and sister-in-law want to get back to normal family life soon after the baby is born in novemeber. that means more planning and upheaval. i want to be ready for it this time. it’s hard to think about the future when it all seems so daunting and unknown.

it’s hard being here, but i’m staying. i think that’s brave.

i want to be brave in these things particularly:

• finish uni no matter how hard it is, after all it’s only one more year
• do what i think is right and not worry about what people think of me
• next time i like a guy, tell him (or at least talk to him). this is a really big thing. i’ve never done it before.
• not be afraid of change. or be afraid and do it anyway.
• stand up against injustices where i see them
• if i do something wrong, own up to it

this goal should keep me occupied for a while!!!
