So close to the new start

I have never been this close to attaining a goal of this magnitude. A goal that is a life time goal. A goal that is so big to me that as of today I am a whole week away from accomplishing. So many people have been asking how does it feel are you excited. The truth is I am scared as hell. I am scared of messing up and I just missed the goal. I am scared of my life changing completely because of the change that can come in accomplishing this goal. I am scared of being disappointed like have be soon many time before. Yet with all this fear I know it must be done. This is where my biggest fear resides. I have to look all these fears stair them in the eye and leap into a vast unknown. A blackness of which my hopes are not even seen. A place where my thoughts are lost and I struggle to hang on to them.

This change is something I thought I would never be afraid, but because of the past I am still apprehensive to the idea. I am still apprehensive because what if the actions takes everything away from me that helped me get there. Those things, these people helped me get to this goal but this single goal might take them away from me. These people saved me from my disappear and made me better, told me to stand tall, told me to live by my own words. I have done these things yet the problem is, what they have told me, what I have accomplished may rip me from their sight. I know that the words here might not be the exact things that happen, but just knowing that is what could happen is terrifying.

So here I am seven days from graduation excited as I could be for such a huge event in my life, yet I am scared. All I can do is trust that the change that I am going to go through won't take my support away, but if it does I must keep them in my mind and continue what they started. I must continue listening to my own words and the words and thoughts that they have brought me. I can't let the past govern me I must look at it as a lesson and make my own future. I can't back down, I must move forward. I must become my own shield and protect myself because I now have the tools to defeat any fear in front of me. It is time to stand tall, hold my head up high and stair into the black eyes of fear. I must walk straight to the sight and say "no more." It is time for me to be me. It is time to govern my life and not the events of the past.

This graduation is not going to show that I have a degree from a university, but it will show I have had gone through some huge event yet I stood tall and got this goal done. With the events I have gone through, the fear in front of me is nothing but just a shadow taunting me. It is time to shine my light and look at the path that I have control of.

This post is dedicated to those who have been there for me when I was down, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be where I am. I am so thankful for those who have been there to make sure I succeed. I am thankful for those who pushed me to listen to my advice and not back down. Thank you

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

Travel of the mind

Over the past 3 years I have been obsessed with travel movies, travel books, but most of all imagining the places I can go. I don't believe I have ever been in such a wanting of something then the ability to get up and travel the world, see new things, enter a world of others. I think the main reason for this is that I believe it will help me find my self. Learn from others to lighten the dark corners of my life. Understand the true human spirit and why we act and do what we do. It was around three years ago when I got to see Europe and explore two counties full of culture and new ways to light up my life. The sad thing it took almost three years to realize it because my eyes were covered by a blanket known as a fake relationship. I luckily didn't forget the sights, the food, and the people that I got to interact with. I don't believe I will ever forget those item now because it means so much. I am so very thankful that I was given that opportunity to see Germany and Italy....

Start the process to get into Search and Rescue Finish 3 large projects on the house Save up 7 percent of pay Get back into photograph I have some what of an idea of how I am going to accomplish this goals. I know every goal is possible and easily attainable, I just have to keep up with it at all times. I am pretty sure the hardest one is getting to 200 pounds fit. The second one, process of getting into search and rescue, may take longer then one year, but I really do want push for this.  There are other goals, or dreams that I wish to accomplish but they should not be placed on the list due to the fact they may not be attainable in a set time period. I well strive for those goals much as I can in hopes to reaching them I know people make goals and hope for them, but only hold them for so long. I try as hard as I possible can to ...
