i met you at the bloodbank.

It feels so great to be home again. My home is beautiful. My family is amazing. I'm realizing a lot of things. I can't do what everyone wants me to do anymore. I have to make choices based on what I want. Life is too short. I've grown up. I've changed. I am a young adult that needs to do what's good for her (and my concept of what's good for me has peaked in the past fix or six months). I'm really lucky to have a brother like I do. We had great conversations tonight. Family is so important. And everything works out in the end if you make it. It's a choice, an effort. Make your life what you want it to be. The possibilities are endless. Think about something you don't like about your life. Now go and change it, transform it into something you can be happy with. Something you can be proud of. It's in your power, you decide what your life will be. And I'm finally getting a clear, healthy view of what I want my life to be, who I want to be.

I am exhausted. A long day of traveling and multiple almost-sleepless nights in a row has left my brain a little scattered. I'm excited to wake up tomorrow, home.
