Reflections

Its strange to look back on it all. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but it became a pivotal moment for me when I realized that the only person who could determine the life I am to live is myself, and that I have all the options in the world, as long as I put in the effort to reach the opportunities I seek. Its been a crazy experience to begin to accept the fact that I don't know everything about anything, not even myself. not even close. Its been strange (but liberating) to accept that I am part of something much bigger beyond myself, and that I am connected to every single thing in the world that surrounds me. And yet, I have to power to determine what I do with that; I have the power to decide how I can effect this world and better myself (and thus, everything in existence, in some minuscule way). Its almost scary to think about how much power our powerlessness gives us!
