Happy with a secret

Took some time to think about this, to have it complete and clear in my mind.. to understand it whole-heartedly so that I don't make any regrets. And I think I've reached that point and have come to a conclusion. My acceptance into my graduate studies has not only allowed me an opportunity to have a career. It's allowed me to see into my future, to know where I'm going, to know where I want to be, to know how I want to live my life - and most importantly, who I want to spend it with. It's amazing how one letter of acceptance can create a rippling effect that can expand with time into realms of life I wasn't even prepared to think about. All I knew was the "here-and-now". That's how I wanted to live my life. 

Now there's this concept called "the future" that seeps into my brain, forcing me to figure out what it'll comprise of. Sure, I've fantasized about the future many times since I was a child - living in Paris, speaking French, married to Aaron Carter lol. But now, at 23, the future I fantasize about is actually feasible. I daydream about it and I can almost grasp it. Such a difficult concept for me to embrace, that for the first time, I know exactly what I want, and the life I'm so fond of is within reach. I'm truly blessed.
