This means a lot more than just having another toy to play with.
21 years old and disconnected from everyone because of someone else’s irrelevant fears is getting old. I need to take charge.

How I did it: finally got the chance to visit ny. i wouldn't want to live there, but i would definitely revisit for certain aspects of the city (particularly broadway and the stardust diner!). Read how I did it…
How I did it: And I knew it would be. I can't believe I let my father stand in my way for so long. But I suppose that's still continuing in other aspects of my life. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Patience and lots of self-exploring. Have faith in God and in yourself, and never forget what the right thing to do is. It feels great knowing you're not a part of anything demeaning just to get a few five-minute friends. Read how I did it…

Long ago forgiven:
- ex-boyfriend who dumped me after 9 days: check. what a moron.
- unrequited crush who liked me until falling for my best friend: check.
in progress:
- best friend who shafted me for the guy we both liked. she won, and was not with me when i needed her. acts friendly to my face but all is obviously awkward. no anger between us, except for a little hurt on my part when she did not invite me to her upcoming wedding.
- friend whom took over for the friend listed above. not exactly mad at her all the time, but sad that her free spirit has moved on and has so many friends when i have maybe one or two.
- all the people who, over the past ten years, have floated away from me without turning back. without missing me and without caring to keep me in their lives.
there are so many.
i’m not completely sure i really want to do this…
...but it seems pretty exciting nonetheless.
