Here I am sitting outside, in the downtown of one of the largest cities in America, knowing where I am, knowing where to go, figuring out who I am. 5 years ago I never thought I’d be here. This has definitely been a journey, to say the least. I actually thought I could never make a life here. I thought I’d just experience such an immense amount of difficulty and struggle that I’d be left with no other choice but to retreat to my small island. But here I am. Watching hundreds of cars drive by, staring at hovering buildings lit up like Christmas trees, making up my now favorite skyline. I honesty feel as big as these buildings, as big as this skyline, as big as this beautiful city. After overcoming small thoughts of being unable to adjust and build, I feel as big as I can feel. No intimidation, no worry, I’ve made and am still making something for myself in this once scary place. And now I feel like it’s mine for the taking. And I know it’s just the beginning.
