and the days go by

It's amazing how time is flying this summer. Working, making new friends, planning my trip, it's all a blur sometimes. But an enjoyable blur. I feel really good about where I am at in my life right now. I have grown as a person by leaps and bounds, and my slef-confidence level is at an all-time high. I am still a bit shy, and fearful, but I have come such a long way from where I was a couple of years ago. For the first time, I feel like I am actually living my life, rather than waiting for some sort of event after which it will officially begin. It has begun, it is being. I'm happily immersed in it. And I'm enjoying being single and independent, which is also a first. And long overdue. I have finally decided to initiate the "me" time of my life, where I find out exactly what kind of lifestyle I want, and which parts of myself I want to fully embrace and develop. I am no longer shaping and molding myself to be someone I think others will like best. I am being true to my true self, and it is a very good feeling.
