It's out of my hands

We all start off our lives with dreams and goals that we all think will determine the rest of our lives.
I've come to realize, that we really have only so much control over what becomes of our dreams and goals.
For me, it's always best to have a plan, but you have to be open to change, and realize that everything you set out to do and all the plans you've made are more than likely to change in the blink of an eye.
Although I had to leave the place I loved, I now know that it was to right thing to do. Despite the fact I left some of the most amazing people behind, they are still a huge part of my life.
We're lucky- we get to choose who we want to keep with us, and who we don't, no matter how far apart we are.
Sometimes when I really take the time to sit down and think, I realize that the people I have come across within the last year are truly my angles. They are the ones that helped me grow, lifted me up when I was down and truly proved to be the best friends anyone could ever ask for. It still amazes me that to this day, even though we are miles apart, the connection we had is not lost. And when I really think of it, those people really did change me forever...I could not be more grateful for having the chance to meet these people and call them my friends.
Now, I'm starting a new "episode" of my life. Even though I'm not really sure where I want to be in September- school, traveling, or still floating around trying the find the perfect plan- I can now accept that I don't really have a real plan this time around. For once in my life, even though I'm scared as hell, I'm just going to let life take it's course. Enjoy one day at a time, love the people I'm with, and let my future unfold on it's own.
