Unchartered Territory

The one thing that's great about being on your own is the fact that you get to do whatever you want whenever you want. You never feel guilty about neglecting those that you truly care about, especially yourself. Then there's the excitement of not knowing where your life is gonna take you, who you're going to meet, what you're gonna do. Oh how I live most for the nights that are filled with crazy and wacky adventures. Late night conversations, crazy dancing, people watching, and maybe even starting a bar fight one day. I was kidding on that last one, but I really wasn't :)

The one thing that's scary and dreadful about being on your own is the knowledge that you have just entered into unchartered territory. Relationship lines are easily blurrable (not a word) and you have to constantly be alert. Setting boundaries can be an exhausting affair. Then there's just the awkwardness of meeting new people, trying new things.

Sometimes we need to have the blanket pulled out from under us, to have our lives violently rattled in such a way that leaves us with no choice but to figure it out. Only then do people learn and grow.

Then sometimes I wonder how long I can stay optimistic. Hopefully forevvverrrrr.
