Well, summer is practically over.
School starts on the 8th and as much as I love learning, I am reluctant to go back. This summer was quite uneventful, mostly because of, well, the lack of events. I had spent the majority of July in summer school, taking an English course, and the rest of the summer in agonizing worry and stress over a boy. I never thought I would get that way. I thought I was a logical thinker, I guess nothing is logical when it comes to matters of the heart. This week was amazing though. I finally went to Europe with Julia, my mom and dad and Rimma and Lesha. It was fantastic. After so many years of dreaming about going there, I finally went and it was fantastic. I will write about my trip in another post. In this post, I actually wanted to talk about the revelation I had prior to this trip. It actually came to me in a dream. I finally realized that the only thing that stood in my way of being happy was me. I realized that because I don't live in the present and because I have such high expectations for everything (events, myself, my friends and family), I am constantly being disappointed. I made a conscious decision to no longer have expectations and try to live in the moment. I tried that with this trip to Europe and it paid off immensely. I enjoyed myself a lot and it was all because of my lack of expectations and because I lived in the moment. I'm going to try to do that from now on.
I'll post more later.
