So here goes...

Ok. so no.
A move is out of the question.
I finally came to a realization that I came here to Pleasant Grove for a certain reason...I'm just not sure of what that is right now. I know I needed a quiet place to finish writing my thesis, but now it's over and I still feel like there's more that I need to do here.
Hmpf.
And so, I'm staying. Atleast for another year or so. And I have to say that things are looking great for me. Summer is here and I just feel good about taking some "me" time...losing this thesis-gained weight, and really focusing on getting my life back in order. My friend said to me the other day that instead of trying to get back to the "me" I was before graduate school-like I've been saying over and over, maybe I just need to rediscover who I am in a new way...because I am, of course, a changed person. I'm a new person, I think...and I want to find out just who that person is.
So here goes...

I spent about a year of my life trying to "get back to the old me" and then discovered that she wasn't the person I wanted to be either. I really think we evolve and in many ways we can never really go back. We have what we were in the past, what we've just learned in the present and the opportunity to live life today little more in tune with who we really WANT to be in the future. I know exactly how you feel right now. Don't worry...You'll figure things out :0)
