Finding Center; a long awaited return!

Hello again! I have decided that my blogging hiatus has lasted long enough and it's time to make my return.... with a blog revamp to boot!

It has been a long 4&1/2 month journey from the point in which I found out I would be moving to D.C. and now, and I have to admit the road has been a bit bumpy. I feel as though my life has been placed inside a snow globe, shaken and flipped for months on end as I bounced around inside waiting for the pieces to land.

Finally, finally though the disruptions have seemed to slow and my dizziness has subsided enough to allow me a moment on my feet. An attempt to record the last two months would be both exhausting and somewhat futile, so I will skip that and merely attempt to begin from where I am now; at my new internship, in my new apartment (which I move into in about a week and a half), with new experiences.

The last few months were not the easiest of times, in fact they were probably some of the hardest. Many many times I was on the verge of throwing in the towel and heading home, but something always pulled me back and told me I had to keep trying. The week before I moved out to D.C. my grandmother told me "It's not going to be easy, you're not going to be happy all the time, but you have to stick it out... you have to give it a chance." So a chance is what I will give.

 Moving across the country has proven to be about a million times harder than I expected it to be. Fortunately enough, I have wonderful friends and family who have supported me through the toughest of it. A simple thank you here does not begin to do justice for the support I have received from everyone, but it's a start.

 What I have realized is, that amidst all this change I had lost sight of who I was. I was unhappy and letting my circumstances dictate my outlook. This can only happen for so long though and, as always, the light at the end of the tunnel appears, giving you the chance to resume the work of discovering yourself.

So once again, I toast to new beginnings. I have adopted a new perspective on this town and on my adventure, and am anxious to see what the next few months will bring.
