Accepted

Good News…

I was accepted to the Brooks Institute of Photography!

I haven't been this happy… in over a year.

I finally have something to work toward.

I read somewhere that

"happiness does not come from people or things,

it comes from goals and accomplishing them."

I have a goal.

I will accomplish it.

I am happy.

-Another note, it was ironic that my big thing was supposed to be today.

The one year mark of a horrible awful year.

The worst year of my life.

I'm sure life will throw more traumatic events my way in the future.

But if I can survive this past year.

I can survive anything.

Bring it on Life.

Sad note.

There isn't a day that I don't miss my Mom.

There isn't a day where I'm not mad at my Mom.

There isn't a day where I wish I could talk to her when I want to

There isn't a day where I don't need her.

And even though the chain reactions of what happened literally derailed me,

crushed most of my dreams, brought more rejection, humiliation, frustration, pain, loneliness, and devastation than I ever wanted to endure.

I found hope.

I'm moving on.

And

Even though I'm working through my obvious issues and anger toward her

there isn't a day where I won't love my mother.

Because she is my Mom.

Mom I love and miss you.
