  • My first real taste of what life is

    I'm a twenty-one year old college student with "plans" for the future and a lot of living to do. I'm double-majoring in two partially-related fields. I'm digging myself out of a large mound of debt (colorful debt with sprinkles and weird smells). I'm working several jobs, attending classes, and trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. With all of that living I'm doing, I wonder what life really is.

    I have motivated myself through broken relationships and fallen spirit. I struggle daily with my concept of God and spirituality. I wake up each morning just wanting to keep sleeping or to just enjoy the day. I just wish for a day when I can call in sick to work and just spend time with the people I love.

    My small taste of living has come in an odd but very familiar form, something I've mentioned a lot these days. I am in love with an amazing person who is both caring and compassionate. He is giving and thoughtful, honest and very intelligent. It's amazing how, in such a short time, a person can become part of the foundation of one's life.

    I'm finally living life, some new type of life... a happy life. I'm excited to see where this path takes me.
