These Times They Are A-Changin

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

We, as a nation, are sitting on the edge of a precipice, where our country can either blossom into something wonderful, or come crashing down around us. Now is when our direction and future will be decided. Watching history unfold and finding out where we are headed has been rather fascinating lately.

On a more personal note, I feel as if I'm on the edge of my own precipice. My whole future lies ahead of me, wide open to a million different possibilities. For the girl who always had a plan, this uncertainty is a bit daunting. While some may look at it as a great opportunity filled with possibilities, I find myself struggling not to be crushed under the weight of doubt.

Figuring out what comes next is an interesting ride; one that I hope to look back on with fondness. Rarely in life do you get these opportunities of complete and utter prospect and promise. Instead of fearing the unknown, I should be embracing this change. I can literally go anywhere, do anything, and set my life how I want it. Soon I will no longer be tied down by circumstances, but open to any avenue I wish to pursue (see there are benefits to being young and single).
