The Heart of Life

An entry before I hit the sack:

These past few days (weeks, rather) have been eye openers of sorts. I used to think that I was in a deep shit hole, and that everything just wouldn't work out for me. For some reason though the universe has conspired to be much nicer to me this year around and sometimes I can't believe it. My curfew got pushed back, I have my tattoo, I don't feel like a piece of shit anymore, I've been reconnecting with people I felt I lost touch with, I've been more clear about my goals, and just been having fun basically. Reality hit me in the face real hard earlier this year, and I couldn't be any more thankful for it. I saw things from a perspective other than my own, and it scared me to death! But I think at some point we all need to be scared like that so we know what exactly is important and worthwhile. I've clearly seen my weaknesses (academic ones) and I'm set to turn all that around. I hope everything's alright with everything else, that our country can fix itself, that other countries aren't in conflict anymore, etc. Haha, the latter part seems random but that just stems from the fact that we're part of something bigger, so acting small and thinking for oneself only isn't really going to work. Just a couple of thoughts. 

Cheers to the week ahead!
