Ten Years and More to Come
I was looking back over my blog, changing the layout (again, I know, I can't decide what I like). I realized I have had this blog for almost ten years now. It is a little scary to think that I have been doing anything semi-consistently for so long. I have learned a thing or two since I started. Those of you who have humored me by reading this blog have journeyed with me through four years of college and the not-quite four years (four in May!) that have passed since.
These ten years have been a time of refinement and of learning who I am and what I want in life.
I will admit, I have had a lot of expectations that never came to fruition. There have been things that have challenged me, pushed me, and stretched me, and I am a stronger person for those challenges.
I am not, and have never been, the most adventurous person. I can't help but wonder what the next ten years hold. Will I have regrets? Probably. But hopefully not as many as the past ten years hold. The last ten years are not riddled with regret, but there are things that I would change if I could, as we all would. I doubt there are very many people that would not change something in their past if they could.
My life spreads out before me, so many different choices I can make it is almost overwhelming. A friend reminded me recently that I could go wherever I wanted. Why Alaska or Ohio specifically? Why not Hawaii or Nevada or any other state (or even country if I was the adventurous type, which I'm not). I don't know where I will end up in the next few months, or even years, but I do know I am grateful for the past few months, and I will not regret quitting and trying something different.
