I know it's been a while, but I'm always out of my element when I go home for breaks. I know they should be relaxing times, but they are often full of confusion and stress!! I think I've come to that point in my life when I am independent from all of my old ways. I have built a life up here in Clemson, and it's really strange that I have to take a break from that as well as my schoolwork. Anyway, I'm back in my comfort zone and getting back into that familiar routine! I want to start off by saying that I have never been so content. It's as if I were a runaway train for so many years and now I have finally found my way back onto the tracks. It's the best feeling to know where I'm going and how I'm going to get there. Sure, there may be a few bumps along the way, but I am looking forward to the scenic view and my arrival at the destination. I just have this feeling that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, and that is something I have felt only once or twice in my lifetime. It's wonderful! I have tried to change some things with the new year, and they have been working so far. First of all, I want to be healthy. I have been going to the gym every other day and watching what I eat. Sure, I want to lose weight, but it's more than that. I don't want 20 more years to go by and the doctor to tell me that I should have done something. In addition to my body, I also want to work on my soul. I want to be a person that people look up to and respect. I know I'm not a horrible person right now, but there is always room for improvement, and I'm going to fill it. My only desire right now is to stay on this track.
