I am so grateful and nervous right now. In a couple of days I get to start my new life and leave the old one behind. What a gift to have been able to live what feels like an eternity( in the good sense) and get to have the chance to do it over. I was with the same person for 7 years and lived with her for 5, I have seen the best and worst a releationship has to offer. I am taking those experiances with me to my new life. It becomes really easy to get depressed and let your ego bring it's frustrations with it and sometimes I fall victim to it. I'ts all in the way you look at things that make the difference. We always have a choice how we let things effect us. I could say that I have lost so much, most of my things, my house, my animals, the last seven years of my life and the person I had thought was the love of my life. But I choose to say I have bought, fixed up, lived in and sold a house by the age of 25. I have a degree and know exactly what I want to achieve in the future. I have the experiance and the inspiration to remember what's really important in life. I did the whole pay the bills thing, work your ass off and not leave time to enjoy life. I can honestly say that what is thought of as "The American Dream" sucks. Don't let the flow of life trap you in something you never wanted. I did and I was lucky enough to have gotten out. I am out of here and on my way to Chicago, I wish everyone luck in finding their peace in life.
