A New Begining

So here we are, right back in the same place I was 365 days ago. I’m back in my apartment for the first time in months, I’m with my friends getting ready to enjoy a night out and I am about to get back onto my path towards academic excellence. The difference this time is experience. I’m prepared for this now. I have a plan, I have goals, I have a real path to follow now instead of blindly walking in circles.
Even now I can hear my friends in the other room laughing and joking. It is a great feeling. It’s a familiar feeling, but one I haven’t felt in a long time, like a friend you haven’t seen in a while. It’s a happy feeling. For the first time in a long time, I have an overwhelming sense of peace. It’s an inner calmness that is hard to explain. I will keep this brief because I don’t want to be away from them for too long, after all this is a celebratory night. But this is the only thing I have worth saying and I don’t want to miss it.
Don’t wait for happiness to find you. Go after it.
I Love You All
