On Solid Ground

When I started this blog, I felt like I was sinking and couldn't see my way up. Then, I started on my solo summer of fun and it's been that and so much more. I remember my first trip to Solomon's Island and feeling lost and not really knowing what to do with myself in that beautiful tranquil sleepy little town. I also remember feeling free albeit unsure of what to do with that freedom, but feeling free nonetheless and determined to do whatever was necessary to find myself. Now, just about four weeks later, I feel so alive...still free, and still not quite sure of what do with that freedom, but I feel so much more in control. I'm no longer sinking; I'm on solid ground and that's a great feeling. My weekend day trips have been so wonderful. I'll have to go recount them and post details of my experiences, but for now, I'll just say that making the decision to selfishly spend my summer alone was the best decision I have made for myself in a long time.
