If all would have gone as planned I would have been graduating college today. But life is unpredictable and takes us places we’d never expect to go. I’m so thankful for all the experiences I’ve had. I got to see and do things no one else has. I got to get into trouble and not feel bad about it. I got to fall in love and never regret it. Now i’m still on schedule to finish school in two years. I’m managing a restaurant in midtown. I’m working at Random House as a paid intern. I’m happy. Everything happened for a reason. May the bridges I burn light the way.

Most of life’s shadows are caused by standing in the way of one’s sunshine.
