Free to Fly

I can see the possibilities of who I could become next in every shining green leaf of the trees, in every breath I take while I remind myself that I am alive. This is such a joyous feeling, something I haven't felt in nearly a year, to be truly excited and happy with what is coming next. This is the start. A change is coming, and I am prepared for it because I am happy and proud of myself and who I have become. This is only the beginning, and from here there is only blue skies and sunshine and the anticipation of what is yet to come.

It's a exhilarating idea, if I think about it for long enough: I am alive. I am free. I have good, healthy food in my stomach and classes that challenge me and a closet full of my favorite outfits. I have a space to think, to be inspired, to create, I have a bed and a TV to lull me to sleep, I have the love of my family and friends who I remain in regular contact with. These are simple things, that I sometimes take for granted, but right now I feel as if I am the luckiest girl in the whole world, to be living this life and have all these open doors and opportunities. This is one of those moments where I feel as if I've made it.
