Uninhibited in a good way

Well, not everything is right, but at least it isn't wrong anymore.

What I mean is, I've decided to turn things around a bit. I look back on last week and wonder how it happened. I wonder and reflect and come up with nothing. There are people to thank and hugs to give. If I had the means and the participation needed, I'd throw a party. I've picked up the gauntlet and cast it aside. My sword is sheathed, the destruction has stopped, and it's time to rebuild.

I've learned to forgive.

I find myself in the same life I was in four years ago. I was a sophomore then and I'm a sophomore still. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just as then, I am single, I have only a few close friends, I'm achieving high grades, and I finally am breaking out of a shell of bitterness.

Please don't misinterpret me, though; I'm not a good person. If God exists, and he wants to forgive my sins during the past four years, then maybe I stand a fleeting chance. As I say in my personal aphorism, "I've long since given up on perfection, so creativity is the closest thing to godliness I'll ever achieve."

There's a number of things on my mind, but for now, I'll appreciate the fact that I've been given a chance at a new beginning. So many people have been locked into their current situation (be it social, work related, etc.), and exiting said situation is a painful task. At one point, I thought to myself: "The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,/ The devil will come, and Andy will be damned (Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. 13.67-68, Text A, minor editing)." Sorry, Mephastophilis. I won't be joining you.
