For anyone who hasn't heard yet... I was accepted into the National Theatre School a couple weeks ago. (Most people heard... I went around for 24hrs telling every single person I am saw whom I am remotly aquainted with.) So, yeah. I'm happy. :)
I look back at the past years of my life and realize just how much I have accomplished with my life and feel a great sense of pride and confidence. This isn't to say I'm perfect, or that I havn't made mistakes. (Lord knows that my list of mistakes is endless!) However I feel very satisfied with my life. This is a bad corny comparison, but in 13 Going on 30 when Jennifer Garner's character asks her mom if there's anything she could live over again/change what would be be and her mom says nothing, that's how I feel.
Yeah, I've had some really tough months battling depression. I made enemies in high school and was more or less a social outcast with my peers. I frequently say too much and act too cocky and like an ass. There are lots of things I can pick out that arn't very glamorous or great.... But then I look how I've handled the situations and how I've come through on the other side. I've got battle scars. There are some people who will probably never acknowledge my existance again. I will forever be explaining the strange triangle scar on my left shoulder. But that has made me who I am.
The fact is, I'm nineteen years old. I've graduated from high school, and travelled through Western Europe. Now I'm standing at the threshold of the rest of my life. Most nineteen year olds are cowering away from the doorway or tripping over it head first with a beer in one hand and a low GPA in some uni program they could care less about. I'm standing at the threshold saying I'm going to kick down this fucking door if it doesn't open for me. And I'm really happy about it. I'm ready. And I am going to face head on any problem that comes my way and jump at any oppertunity I see. I am ready to chase my dreams.
(Whooooo-hoooo... how was that for an inspirational pump yourself up rant??)
