It's been about a month since I last even looked at this website. I seem to surprise myself every time I read my own emotions. Am I too passionate or giving? Do I put too much energy into maintaining relationships? Someone recently told me that I would rather be unhappy than uncomfortable. That's pretty ironic coming from this particular individual, however definitely something I have examined. Since September, I have been in St. Louis and PA and in a couple days I'll be headed to Monterey. Travelling can put life into perspective in its own unique ways, mostly because you have plenty of time to look out the window and reflect. In this process, I've tried sketching my thoughts on paper beginning several verses without any completion, all of which contain the words hope, dreams and prayers in some form. This may just be a coincidence or the fact that I have finally transitioned from feelings of depression to those of confidence and ambition. I only hope that this is true and not a front for what may still be settling in deepest part of my soul.
