ahhhh!! real monsters

Today felt like a new beginning. It felt like change. It felt like hope.

I received a notebook for Christmas. It is a Jack Skellington notebook, the paper on the inside matches it's beautiful cover.

I wrote questions in that notebook today. I wrote my own little story of hope. I think this week has been, more than anything, a beacon of hope into the life I hope to one day have. Where I can accomplish everything I set out to do, regardless of a tattered past.

In the first entry into that notebook I spoke of broken hearts. I spoke of the love I am surrounded by on a daily basis. I spoke of how living to complete the day, and not the year,  always makes me happier. I spoke of how tomorrow could wait until I got there. I spoke of healing.

I have plans and dreams. I am going to realize those dreams. and today I made a choice, those dreams may or may not include medical school, but however they play out, I will not regret the choices I made. I am through worrying about it. And that, to me, sounds like hope.

so, with such high spirits and such optimism, I must bid adieu.
