"If we are facing in the right direction . . .

. . . all we have to do is keep on walking."

I finally feel that at this point in my life I'm facing in the right direction (well, maybe a few degrees off, but generally speaking).

I have a job. Granted, I don't make as much as I should, and I don't work as hard as I can, but atleast I have a job. A step. All I need to do is just keep on walking this road, and it can only get better.

I have amazing friends! You couldn't ask for a better support system. I know that the people who are with me now are those that will be there forever. It feels amazing to finally reach that point in your life where you have found your lifelong friends. It took awhile, it hurt a little bit, and it sure was confusing.. but the long road to where I stand now, with these amazing people by my side, was totally worth it.

I have a Masters degree. I didn't think I could do it. I got really scared. I came within millimeters of bailing on the whole thing. I perservered. I kept on walking, even though it was hard, mortifying, and depressing. I made it.

I have the future. It is mine for the taking. I will embrace every opportunity I'm given, enjoy ever breath I take.
