It's been a long time since I've been on here, and a good deal of it in a very dark time for me. That being said, I'm glad to see it hasn't changed much here. Since I graduated college in May, I went on a trip to Europe on my own for a month. It gave me some great perspective, some great times, and all in all was an eye opening experience to be alone in a bunch of countries where I only can kind of speak the languages, despite trying to learn them beforehand. Afterwards, I moved to where I got a job, a place where I thought I'd just end up depressed and hate it so badly I'd have to leave. Funny enough, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started really applying myself. I started taking piano lessons, started working towards my career goals, and pushed myself to be a better person all around. Turns out, I'm feeling good about myself. And I'm looking forward to what the future will bring, without getting lazy in my ideals and aspirations.
