My life is beginning--let's hope it goes well

 I have been a high school graduate for hmmm....a week?

 Jenn was here for the past three weeks and that was an amazing (stressful) three weeks. It was a wonderful experience and I hope will be repeated in the years to come. We didn't do a lot. For me it was about spending the time together.

But now that she is gone, and we have said our goodbyes. I promise there was many tears, and hopes for there to be another meeting like the one we had. Only on her terf (in Canada). 

And now that she is gone I have to begin my life. I've been working on my resume. I've had one for what seems like a century for school. But now it's about making one to actually get a job. I'm a licensed cosmetologist in an area that is lacking in hair styling jobs. Hopefully using the fact I finished my cosmetology schooling, and passed my testing to get my license before I graduated from high school. Because I am the first person in my school district to do such a thing. 

The feeling is amazing, knowing that I am in a position in my life that I am able to start my career out of high school. Many people I know are going to college, or having to begin more schooling. And that makes me feel wonderful. I am finally at a spot in my life that I am happy. 

Most of my high school life I've spent it not unhappy, but in an unhealthy state of not happy. And that is something most people suffer from. But then I stopped and realized, I'm not unhappy for once. And I adore it. I adore being able to say that I am happy. I'm happy with my body (though I continue to eat healthy, and walk), I am happy with my education, and I am happy with my relationships.  

Yay! How many people can say that? Not to brag, but I might toot my own horn a bit.
