My first holiday weekend in Maryland proved to be a wonderful delight! To be honest I thought I was going to miss home and friends a lot, but that was totally not the case.
I got to spend the weekend with some amazing people. All of which have such unique and wonderful personalities that there was never a dull moment. Making the trip to Great Falls was absolutely wonderful. Spending the afternoon exploring the place that I am going to call home for at least the next 2 years of my life was a true blessing. The weekend ended just as quickly as it begin. By the time Monday rolled around, I had no coherent relocation of how 2 days had gone by so quickly.
Unfortunately, just like every other high in the world, I had to be brought back down to reality and see everyone leave. I didn't think that it would affect me, but then again I don't think a lot of things will affect me, but they do. It was hard adjusting to the quite, but it was an adjustment that was necessary especially since this coming weekend will be the big move into my own place....EEKS!
While there is a sense of excitement and curiosity of what living on my own is going to be like, there is also a sense of worry that maybe the quite will be too quite...but I guess time will tell.
As for now I'm riding the wave of positivity and continuing to keep calm and carry on. I have an undying sense of faith and I know that it will take me exactly where I need to be!

The Move
It seems that my Journey is finally beginning, well in fact I think that maybe I've always been on the journey but never realized it.
A lot has changed over the past couple of weeks. To start of I've moved to a new place where I am going to be attending an amazing university (JHU). I've left my loved ones behind on a quest for higher education and self fulfillment. For those of you that know me you might find that funny coming from my mouth cause, lets be honest, I haven't really ever been the type to focus solely on my self and my needs. It's funny cause I thought it would be much easier then I anticipated, I thought I would just pack up and leave and that it wouldn't affect. Who was I kidding!! The overly emotional person that I am is honestly having a hard time dealing with the changes of being away from home and people that I love and care about! There are moments when I want to break down and cry and moments where I feel like I'm invincible, but I guess that is the natural process of become familiar with ones self and ones needs.
It's truly shocking sometimes that things that I say. I would have never thought that I not only could understand how important it was for me to find peace within my self but to also strive to achieve that. I am determined to live for me, to make all the experiences in the world that I need to, to seize every moment and every opportunity to the best of my ability. For once in my life I realize that I am still young and that I have plenty of time to learn the lessons of life, love and everything in between. I know that in due time everything will fall into place just the way that it needs to!
My favorite quote from Vanilla Sky explains it all. "you can't enjoy the sweet unless you have experienced the sour". I this this holds true for everything in life. It's not about what the end result may be but its about THE JOURNEY that takes you there...
