Truly starting college this summer has been so eye-opening.
This writing assignment has been asking me about my worldviews, my values and morals, and I've been having a blast looking back into the past. While writing this last sentence in this essay. something hit me. The sentence is simple, short, concise.
"More positive than ever, I started my life."
My life didn't start when I was born. Sure, I entered the world and begun to breathe, but I wasn't living. It didn't start in junior high or high school when I was going through the toughest turmoil of my life. It started when I was able to turn my mindset around after years of therapy and developing a positive outlook. I was a completely different person than I am today, and I'm happy to say this is the start of the life I want to live. Been a few years since I've been this present, but there's still so much growth to do.
Earlier in my assignment, I expressed that it felt like having a second chance. Given the tools and practice necessary to develop myself and to understand I could think for myself in ways that I was not aware of has changed me into someone else entirely. I'm happy to be where I'm at now.
I am grateful.
