a new chapter.

Alright. It's been a while since I've written anything significant oh this blog. But, as my life is about to change in a big way, I feel it's only right that I start writing again. I'm going to want this for later anyways, when I'm older. Meh, "older". What a horrid word. Right now, at this moment, I'm realizing that "older" has already come. I'm about to accomplish my life dreams. things that when I was little I said I would do "when I grow up". Well now I'm grown up...and it's a strange thing to be...


Sidenote. It has been 121 days since my 21st birthday. 21. My lucky number. On with it...


College:
Exactly six weeks from today, 42 days, I will be walking off the stage, diploma in hand. I will finally be a BGSU grad. I have dreamed of graduating from BG, like my parents, since the day I was old enough to grasp the concept of college. I will have my BSN. A nurse, who would have ever thought. Mom asked me the day I was accepted to the program if I was completely sure, adding, "Are you sure this is what you want to do? Wouldn't you be happier doing something like fashion merchandising?" Seriously mom? I was sure as ever. Nursing was the only thing I'd ever wanted to do. Besides my 4-year-old self wanting to become a ballerina. After five years of preparing for this, and three different colleges, I'm finally about to do it. Its been such a long and difficult road, but so worth it. Between the horrid clinical instructors, grumpy nurses on the units, and long list of classes I came so close to failing, I'm glad to be finishing up. I just hope im capable of being all I want to be, and making everyone proud. That's all I've ever wanted, to make my family proud of me.


Love:
The topic of love and relationships has not been as easy one for me in the past year. After getting out of a relationship that should have ended years ago, I have started to feel this new sense of extreme liberation. Relationships like my last one are rough to go through, but they help you realize everything you don't want in life. Literally everything. I wasted a lot of time, but I learned a lot. And I will never regret my past for that reason. Last April while out with some friends, I met a boy. A boy whose presence was so insignificant that I didn't even think about him after we all parted ways that night. No numbers were exchanged, no adding each other on Facebook. Nothing. I didn't even know his name. It wouldn't be until five months later that I would see him again. Fast forward to September 9th, 2011. I'm on a trip with some friends. the same group of friends I had been with in April. we're sitting around, setting up our tents, making food, then a black cadillac pulls up and three boys get out of the car. Two of them look unfamiliar, but the third one I have seen before. It's him. Ergys. I know his name now and he looks just the way I remembered him, but this time something is different about him. I search to try to figure out what it is, but I cant figure it out. The weekend goes on and we exchange a few words, mostly poking fun at each other. Sunday comes and once again we all part ways. but this time I'm thinking about him. And quite often. I keep telling myself that I'm probably not going to see him again and to get my head on straight and stop swooning like a school-girl. But nothing works. His voice, his eyes, his smile are all burned into my memory. Eventually we become "facebook friends" and start talking, nothing serious. Then BAM! Fast forward again to today. This person, this man, is now the love of my life, everything I've ever wanted in a partner. He's my best friend and my lover. And I could not ask for more. It's amazing how timing effect things. The first time I met him, we were nothing to each other, completely insignificant. Now he's my everything, more than just significant. I can't see myself spending my days with anyone other than him.


Life:
As I already mentioned, timing is key. You can try and try for something, but if the timing's off, forget it. Keep calm and go with the flow. Resist much and obey none. Everything works out in the end, I promise. For some life can be a cruel thing. but after all the darkness, after all I've been through, I still choose to believe that 
            Life is beautiful.
