I'm doing my best to keep my chin up! School started yesterday. I've never been good at school. This quarter, though, seems promising. I'm only taking three classes and all the teachers are pretty badass. It's still going to be a challenge, but a more approachable and maybe even a more fun challenge.
There are still a million things in my life I have to straighten out before I feel like I can live truly happily, but I'm getting there.
I feel as though I was living a static life for a while. I didn't do much with my time. I've recently renewed my interest in art and music, and feel like I'm at least a little bit better at creating things. I always get compliments that I'm creative but I've always had trouble believing them...
In other, less happy news, I found out recently that my favorite/only grandfather was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. We don't know how long he has left, but it isn't long. My dad is going up to Maryland to be with his family. I just wish I could go with him.
My grandfather is perhaps one of the most amazing people I've ever met. He wasn't perfect, he made his grave mistakes as everyone has in life, but he learned from them. He has lived a full life. He's made me believe in so many things. He's filled me with a sense of curiosity, love, and excitement. I always loved visiting him and my uncle. Unfortunately I haven't seen them in over three years.
I wish I could go and tell him how much I appreciate him; how much his life has inspired me.
I just wish I had more time.
