No More Settling...

Things here are different. Different in a mostly good way. Life changes. Sometimes in a quick burst of energy, sometimes slow, like an ember beneath the ashes, waiting for the right moment to burst back into flame.

And for the most part, I've come out of all of this unscathed. A little worse for wear (to be expected) but no irreparable damage, no permanent harm, but above all else, a healthy dose of reality and the irrefutable difference between right and wrong and the knowing of it.

My life isn't perfect right now. There are still plenty of things that need to be fixed, but at the same time, it's not completely wrong and I've got a lot of hope for my future. (Much more than I ever had for most of this year.) Perhaps it's just me hoping that it's so, but I've a feeling that fate has finally taken notice of me. And maybe I've finally taken notice of fate.

No matter where the road goes. No matter the distance traveled. I'm moving forward. One footstep, one moment at a time...
