"part III of my life I will call mission: adulthood and learning to cope" -s.l.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about where I am and how I got here.  It was two years ago today actually, that single handedly changed who I was and who I will become more so than any other day.  At the time, I didn't think I'd ever be the same person.  And I won't, but I realize now it's mostly been for the better.  This conclusion didn't come easy or quickly.  I've learned during these past two years more about who I am and the person that I want to be.  I am immensely thankful for my family and my friends who were and still are there for me. 

I am a planner by nature.  Not knowing what is going on makes me very anxious.  I'm not saying that I need details, I just need an idea of the situation ahead.  Yet, looking at most of my major decisions they have all been unexpected even to myself.  If anyone had told me a year ago that I'd be living in Korea I would have laughed it off.  This is certainly not a place I have ever dreamed of traveling to, let alone live.  With that said, I love Seoul and wouldn't change anything that got me here.  Yes, I'd like to erase certain things from memory, but in the end those things most likely had the biggest influence on getting me where I am today. 

I graduated college a year ago, I started a second degree two weeks later, ten months after that I moved to Asia.  I have no idea what I'm going to do in a year.  And for the first time, I'm okay with not having it all planned out.
