I’m not the first person to contemplate the universe and its events and happenings. I’m also definitely not the first to notice that bad things and good things sometimes occur as avalanches, all rolling down the hill ready to splatter you and leave you completely frostbitten and unable to move. When I was younger, the negative avalanches seemed much more frequent. Whether this was because I was more sensitive to little things that accumulated rather easily, little things that I’m able to shrug off now or because I was unable to direct my energy the way I am now, I’m still not sure.

Recently, the positive avalanches have been coming at me and I can barely keep up. I’ve gotten back in touch with my one and only true love, and I have plans to move to his city to see how things go. I’ve been encouraged and supported in the pursuit of my passion, which is literature. I’ll have my BA in May and I’ve been pushed toward the grad school route. I’ve been making a good amount of money just by putting my head down, being humble and doing some work. Opportunities have been opening up to me one after the other as soon as I show some interest.

I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such happiness and good fortune, but I’m going to do my best to continue on this path and hopefully help others who are not so fortunate!
