Making Changes

I am only starting to realize why I'm here in South Florida. I needed to make changes in my life; changing things I thought were fine the way they were. I forgot how much little things bring me joy. I kind of put my love and passion for writing on the shelf while I was in California. I didn't really have the time to do it with all of the homework I needed to get done, and then after school was over I was just so busy looking for a job or hanging out with friends. I forgot what makes me go crazy; what makes me smile; what makes my heart go THUMP THUMP. I also kind of left my creative, colorful glow tucked away.

Now here I am. Getting out all of those things I've missed so much. I got my typewriter out, my paint, all of my colorful pieces of paper, etc. I'm doing projects again. I'm not distracted all the time, having to find a job or find a place that's quiet. I've found my place of solitude again. And oh how I've missed it.

Then again, I feel like I'm living in two worlds. God taught me things in California that I couldn't have learned anywhere else. I won't forget it, either. Now it's time for me to take those teachings and learn something new. So here I am. In a totally different world, learning things that I never would have thought of; but it's what I need. I can't short circuit the process. Every detail in life is important. This phase is just as important as the last one. So, let's seize the moment, shall we?
