pause/step back.

June has been the fastest month of the year so far. Can't believe 2010's halfway through. On some days I curse the clock for ticking too slowly, but on most days I find myself begging time to slow down. Before we know it, it'll be Christmas again, then a few weeks after, I hit 25.

I revisited some journal entries which I wrote a few weeks after college, at the time when I attempted to figure out what I wanted to do. I jotted down my 5 and 10 year goals, tried to envision what a 25 and 30-year-old me would be like.

I guess I'm not too far from all those scribbles. I'd like to think I'm in a really good place right now, and for that I am immensely grateful. It was definitely not a walk in the park, but I guess it's all part of growing up and finding your way through this puzzle. I've learned that patience pays off, that silence is powerful, and that positivity can go a long way. There's still a lot to learn, and keeping an open mind and a kind heart can get you places.

So here's to the rest of the year, it's going to be great. :)
