Step In The Right Direction!

Sometimes you get the lucky lottery numbers. Sometimes you get a statement that is supposedly about you. I once got:

“you will order takeout.”

But today I opened our cookies and got the perfect fortunes:

 “All you have is today-there is no such thing as yesterday or tomorrow.”

This past week has been all about family. I’ve seen people that I normally only see on holidays every day recently. It’s wonderful, despite the circumstances.
Earlier in the week me and my friend Lauren had a big, heavy conversation about our lives and where they’re going. Both of us were feeling completely lost. Talking to her about everything made it so real. All of the thoughts that I had been pushing to the back of my brain, all the “I’ll think about it later and just have fun for now” kind of thoughts were forced to the front and became the only thing on my mind. For the last few days I’ve just been thinking and thinking. I need to do something with my life. Yeah, I’m young. Everybody’s been telling me nonstop that I have a long time to figure ‘it’ out. And that is true. I (hopefully) have a lot of time and a lot of life ahead of me.
But the thing is I’m not trying to have my life figured out just yet, that would be ridiculous. I just want to work towards getting there. I want to make progress. I want to move in the right direction.

And today I made the first step. I’ve decided on a direction to move in. Sure, it’s not what I originally had in mind, but since when does life always go as planned? The plans I had made months ago are done with. Now I’ve changed and so have my plans and I’m actually excited.

Yesterday I woke up with a big smile on my face. In just this week I changed. I was no longer crying and trying to convince myself that things were okay, and I’d deal with things later.

Today I got to talk about college stuff with my friends.All of us are working towards new beginnings. Towards goals, towards dreams and towards making progress.
………. I had hit a wall. Instead of standing there forever and wondering what to do next I went searching for a way around it.

Today was a turning point for me. I’m going to try my best to put this new plan into action. 

Yes people, I’ve found a direction to move in.
