for the first time (in a long time), i've had to become seriously concerned about affording school. now that it's taken care of (so far), there is nothing left for dormitory housing.
for about two seconds, i was being a bit woe is me
im-going-to-have-to-couch-hop-
and-eat-soup-for-three-months.
but you know what?
i'm learning to come to terms with the fact
that you can't plan everything.
today's lesson is: Roll With the Punches.
SO i don't have a place to call my own. i have gracious friends who are willing to let me sleep on their futons.
SO i don't have money for my ridiculously expensive eating habits. i have a couple of dollars for top ramen and an apple or two so i don't starve.
SO i have to live out of my suitcase for three months. i have money to finish college and graduate.
and for the elusive silver lining...a bit of hardship builds character, right? temporarily losing a little cushion makes clear the lessons that the experience can teach you, and in all of this, i remain abundantly fortunate and blessed.
i guess i share this to say that when something goes wrong, look for what still is right, and hold to that. life is a ride...shit falls off the truck sometimes. keep going.

you know you're on the right path with that little voice inside of you says to "keep on...keepin' on..." regardless of the sitution...
Too True. Lately I've been feeling like everything but the damned engine has fallen off my truck...and yet this optimism about life's possibilities persists. Isn't it exciting to see what you are capable of working through when faced with adversity
