Ready For Some Changes

I'm ready to majorly overhaul my life. I get these random urges to just fly off the radar. To do something crazy. Well, not really crazy, just completely revolutionize several areas of my life. Here are just a few I've been thinking of:
  1. I want to move to Portland, Oregon. Perhaps after graduation.
  2. I want to move to Ireland. Soon. Not immediately, but not in the far future.
  3. I want to live by myself. I want to stand on my own two feet, sink in somewhere on my own.
  4. I want to chop my hair off. I've been growing it out since I graduated high school, really. I'm sick of it.
  5. I want to date someone new. Someone older than me.
  6. I want to care again. I want to promote a cause I'm passionate about. I want to work toward something with sustenance.
The only change I'm already in the process of making is having my own room for the first time since I lived in my parents' house. I'm moving into my studio room and moving my studio space out into our second living room. Whitney and I have shared a bedroom for so long, I'm not sure if it will be more lonely or liberating for me. We'll see how it goes. :)

There are a few things I've already initiated, things I've already started to change. New things in my life that I heartily embrace.
  1. I got a dog... I've never had a pet before that I could have a relationship with. She really loves me, and she's excited to see me when I get home. I love my Norah.
  2. I'm on a good diet. Its a natural foods diet that really works and makes me feel really good when I stick to it. The last couple weeks have been harder, but in general I'm doing really well with it.
  3. I've been taking more responsibility on a personal level. This one's hard to explain, but I feel like its definitely a positive step.
Happy Halloween. :)

It sounds like you are really ready to graduate! All of those feelings for change are normal and healthy because they show your drive and desire to really begin a life of your own. It's so exciting! Glad to hear you have a pet. I love dogs! We have our little Cleo, and I can't imagine life w/o her. She rolls over and whimpers everytime I come home, wanting her belly rubbed, and then she "kisses" me for at least ten seconds - even Roy doesn't do that!

You're going to end up living in Ireland before I do and I am going to be sick with jealousy. SICK, do you hear me?? lol On the other hand, I'll have a really good reason to go for more visits AND a free bed to sleep in while I'm there....right??? :D Love you, sweetie!
