It took me a long way to find out that I really wanted to do this! I have almost all of my pre-requisits in place (just finishing up math) and I’ve applied… now I have to play the waiting game. In the mean time I have to keep myself motivated and remember that it’s going to be so worth it! Anything worth having is worth working hard for right?

How I did it: I got a couple of friends together and we spent a gruelling couple of days going through EVERYTHING one room at a time. First it was a little overwhelming... how could I have accumulated SO MUCH JUNK??? And there were a lot of useful itmes too, that had been forgotten all about. My friends helped me keep a clear perspective as I made 2 piles (really what did I need and what could I part with, most was the latter). … Read how I did it…
I’ve actually started writing. I’m gathering my ideas and letting the creativity flow. It makes me feel alive to have something that almost takes on a life of its’ own inside of my mind. It might take me my whole life, but this is something I’ve wanted to do for as long as I can remember. It feels good to get going on it, even if it’s only one page a day…
I think this is something that everyone has strugled with, but I never realized how many of my life decisions were made to appease someone else. In the end it never really made me happy. It’s crazy to think that I let other people direct my life like that without even realizing just how much control I was relinquishing. I’m done with that. I want to do things that make me happy for once. I want to start making decisions for the right reasons.
