Is this home?

Long time, no see blog-o-sphere. I hope that you have all been doing well and having a fantastic time in this world of ours. If not evident from the title, I am back home for the weekend. Which is the inspiration for this blog. Over the past year and a half, coming home, things have obviously changed. You know, minute details. Clothing, my brother can drive, new chairs, etc. That is to be expected, no?

Well, I am back in my old bedroom tonight, or should I say, my brother's new bedroom. Which is fine, I understand the need for my brothers to have their own rooms, it doesn't bother me. But the whole room is so different, so much new furniture, so unlike what it was. It's a bit of a shock to be honest. Am I saying my parents should have left it as is? No. I am not.

I think its just that the realization that I have nearly all of my earthly possessions with me at college is finally beginning to sink in. Knowing that if I were never to come back, not many of the things I own would be lost. The fact that the house I once knew has changed and adjusted so well without me that it is hardly noticeable that I ever lived here. These are the things that truly bother me. I am growing up, and with aging comes the realization that yes, things have to change. Whether I am ready for this or not, it is going to happen. I have to accept that, because unlike Peter Pan, I have no Neverland to run away to.

Over the past week I have been considering my future. Where I might be in the next 2 years, graduating from college, likely with at least 3 majors and a minor. Yet, even with those degrees, my future is so uncertain in these times. I don't exactly majors that open me up to a range of job opportunities. I am single, so I still have a ways to go in the department of any relationship. I am quite literally on my own, and if things don't change, I will be alone and jobless in two years, which is terrifying. I am just now beginning to realize the magnitude of this.

I have been lucky to avoid paying very much for my education. I am so lucky and blessed to have the people that I do in my life. But in truth, the future is quite terrible to think about, and perhaps it is the same for all of us. The thrill of adventure and the unknown is short lived by the terror that may be. Yet I must realize, that in as much there is the possibility of great happiness. What a gift that could be.

So keep dreaming and reaching for the stars, just always remember to watch where you land.

  1. I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested.  Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.  My family supported me then as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him.
