The Future

It's a strange feeling for me, to be excited about the future. I've spent so much time dreading it, hating it, fearing it, because it used to be one big question mark to me. I have a plan now, though, and that changes everything. When I think about where I'll be in a couple years, I start bouncing in giddiness. I can't control myself. And nowhere in that plan does it say I have to have a great body or always have a boyfriend or gain my family's approval. My life doesn't hinge on those things anymore. I feel so free.
