Independence for me as well.

Yesterday was mostly uneventful.
Mostly.
There was homework done, quizzes were taken.
No celebratory plans, which was fine with me.
There was rain.  There was thunder.
There were fireworks sounding and kitties hiding.
It was a good night to stay in and relax.
There was texting.  There was voicing.
I smiled a lot.  I even laughed a time or two.
There was beer.  There was ice cream.
I stayed up late, then slept most of the night.
There were dreams of good things.
I felt happy and hopeful.
I still do.
I hesitate to trust it, but I will grow braver.
I am alone, but do not feel lonely anymore.
Life has shifted in epic ways the past few weeks.
The switch was flipped.
I can feel how right it is.
I worry less.  The guilt has lifted.
I know my purpose in being here has been met.
I can let go now and not worry.
This detour has nearly come full circle.

I feel lighter.  I feel free.  I feel more like me again. 

Contemplation is happening.
Possibilities for the future unfolding.
Choices to be made.
When change happens, I want to do it right.
I will try to.  I plan to.  I have time.
