Heading North

Life continues to evolve, as do my desires, my plans & my feelings.

I met my new years resolution of being debt-free by my birthday a month earlier than the deadline. I was using that as a marker for 'I shouldn't make any plans until I'm debt-free.'

So now we're here.

At the beginning of the year, my grandmother passed away. When I was little, she sent me a 'treasure map' of her yard. In her memory, one of my best friends & I are going to follow-through.

But we figured, while we're in north Ohio, we might as well go to Canada...since we're going to Canada, we might as well come back down South through Buffalo, NY & go to Niagara Falls.

Amazing how life goes.

Heading up through Alabama, we'll stop in Nashville & stay with fellow Fortknight Amanda, then up to Louisville. On the way back home, we'll meet up with my family in north Alabama to celebrate my cousin's graduation for a mini-family reunion. <3

I am so very excited.

It's All Crazy!

It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright!

Life has been insane, full of emotional ups & downs. 

I've felt disenchanted & totally in love with the people in my life all in the same day.

I will admit that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing, where I'm going or how I'm going to get there, but I truly believe that I'm on a path toward that which makes me feel love, which has been suggested to me.

I'm impressionable, young, naive, while sometimes being jaded, forlorn & depressed. 

There are so many things I wish were different about my life, my family, my job, my country, my community, my economy. However, I realize that I must start with me. Granted, that usually sets me off on a perfectionistic binge, filled with eating disorder thought patterns & a desire for ten hours of sleep, but I'm making progress.

I'm not perfect, I never will be. It makes me so very sad that I have such a fixation, but: It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright!
