Phase Two

It's time for me to test my strength. There's no more dipping my big toe into the water to see if I can get used to the cold. It's time to cannonball into my new life! And for once, I'm not scared. I can't wait for this change in my life to push me to where I want to be. I know there will struggles and times when I can't embrace the day to it's fullest, but that's where my support system comes in. I always wanted to be able to do things on my own, and when it didn't work out, I would feel like a failure. Now I know how dumb I was. Of course you can't go through life without special people to help you. If we weren't able to lean on someone during hard times, we would all just fall to the ground. So I thank everyone I love for all the support they have given me. I thank them for showing me that I can live up to my dreams. I wish there was something special I could do for them, but for now all I can do is be there the same way they are for me.

"In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices." - Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat Pray Love)
