Where Have I Gone?

Sorry I haven't been blogging, like, at all.  Also, sorry to use "like" so flagrantly in the opening sentence.  I've been healing, seeing some friends, sleeping excessively and thinking.  Thinking a lot.

Right now, I'm not in the best place in a lot of ways.  I'm desperate for a change, I feel stuck, and I feel frustrated in every direction.  I think I need a new job, I desperately want a proper (writing) vacation, and of course, I want some serious luck with the publishing industry.  With my 25th birthday closing in on me (November 7th!), I honestly just want to feel some serious progress in one way or another in my life.

But you know what, the past few days have made me realize a few things:

1.  Everything really will be ok.

2.  When things aren't really working, there's always an opportunity or silver lining.  Life is in the living of it, not in the waiting for things to happen.

3.  A positive attitude is unbelievably essential.

#3 is especially important to me.  I've just been getting so disheartened by everything, and negative talk is constantly spiraling through my head.  I realize that at almost every juncture in my life I seem tempted to change absolutely everything, but right now I'm trying to make some pretty significant changes in my life and keeping positive is insanely important.

So bring on the rainbows and fluffy bunnies, I'm going on a negativity strike.
