shifts

There's something therapeutic about good conversation.

Whether it's with your mother or your friend, you find out more about yourself with every dialogue. I've become increasingly aware of my desire to make my own path, to be my own person, to make my own impressions- and having the backing of some special people makes the journey even more beautiful.

It is interesting to look back over the past two years and see the decisions and situations that have shaped the path thus far. Some have been frightening and unsure while others have been so clear I might have tried to see straight through them. Regardless, life is not the same as I had envisioned and I thank Him for seeing to that. I don't work the job I thought I wanted and I don't fit the mold I thought I wanted to be in. I am less cynical and more open to listen. I have grown closer to the two people that spent the first 17 years of my life tirelessly teaching me how to live and love independently. I have surrounded myself with guys who are striving to be confident men of character. I am chasing after a young lady who has shown me another side of grace and keeps me running hard. I am coming into myself. I am coming into freedom.

In life there are tremendous shifts- they take us to places that we may not have gone before, only to find what we've been wanting all along. Just try to keep your balance...
