Leaving

I am about to embark on a journey. It will probably be the longest, most difficult journey I've been on thus far in my life, but I shall endeavor it nonetheless. Honestly, I'm not sure what the point of this journey is, what I wish to accomplish or find. There may be no one with me on this journey; it may turn out that there are many on the journey with me whom I may meet along the way. All I really know is that where I am is not where I want to be, so I must leave it. By this point in my soliloquy, you ought to have caught on to the concept that I am not physically migrating anywhere. I am, however, abandoning a state of mind and being with which I am no longer content.

I want to be a better person, more confident, strong, peaceful, trusting, joyful, loving, generous, prioritized, role-model kind of person. I want to yearn for God more than I yearn for other things. I want to live a full life, enjoying simple pleasures and striving for more than complacency. I want to be happy with who I am. I want to be self-disciplined and ambitious. I want to be content and patient.

Ready, set, GO!
