this weekend was somewhat of a life turning point for me. i have been going through a continual change process since last year, a process met with insecurities, indecision, inconsistencies, and many other "in-" prefexed words. but this weekend the change process completed itself with the purging of the one thing that has been consistent over the past year; self-doubt. a series of fortunate events (disguised as unfortunate ones) made me finally step back, take a deep breath, and realize everything i have to offer. i'm an original, a one-of-a-kind. my life doesn't need to follow a pre-used strategy or path nor lease one for the time being. me taking a year to work in colombia isn't due to laziness or delaying of the real world, it's in fact the opposite. it's a way to show myself that i can really just pick up, move out, and make it on my own. the things i will do in life will require resourcefulness, adaptability, relationship building, and an understanding of being a minority. for me, a year of making my own in Colombia will lead to the acquisition of these skills more effectively than working as an i-banker at goldman.
but that's just me. my story hasn't been written yet...i'm here to write it and tell it in my own way.
