A Brand New Day

Christmas went really well, despite my original worries of it being a repeat of last year. (Side note : I got batman pajamas woo!) It has given me a lot of new hope about the coming year and the coming semester, and I feel as if I have finally been able to shed off some of this worry and grief I have been holding on to.

That gives me a lot of hope.

I was in my room the other day looking through some old stuff, and I came across some old UNH Yearbooks. The one from 2007 caught my eye because I had a lot of friends in that class, and their senior year I would easily consider being one of my best years. I also had this massive crush on a girl from that class. It wasn't anything that affected my relationship, but it was one of those things that I saw myself working out with her if I wasn't currently happy in a relationship. That's not important, but continuing on...

The President of the USGA at the time was a big influence on me. I really believed in him, and when I reread his words in the yearbook, something struck me. It was scary how pertinant it was to me. It was a quote from Helen Keller:

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens: but iften we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

Scary, huh?

I've decided I'm done staring at my closed door. I'm going to look in to the hallway, find my new open door and dive in! I'm ready to jump start my life again...here goes nothing.
