But it’s not, and it never will be. I try to look on things with a good attitude, but it’s not always easy. I’m here at Taylor almost done, and I’m totally mixed about leaving. I can’t believe that my life as I have known it (non-stop education) is coming to an end - and I’m super excited about that. But it means I have to say bye to people too. And that’s never easy.

I feel that as I leave this place I should have some sort of direction for my life. But I’m just floating right now. I’m about to turn 23, I’m single, I don’t have a job or a definite place to live. My friends live in either direction across the country and talking on the phone every now and again just isn’t enough to make it feel as though they’re here with me.

It’s a time of change and transition and decision making, and every choice I make closes off a hundred other possibilities. Which is the path for me?

The Road Not Taken
~Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
