Last week I met with my college admissions councilor for the first time. His name is Bob, he's an older man and at first I thought he was a bit off. Once we got talking though, I realized that he was merely a genuine, kind, caring man who is incredibly good at reading people. He had to pick at me a while to get me to open up, just like everyone else does, but he didn't give up. He opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I can honestly say that he changed me.

I have not let my inner creativity flow in such a long time, and I feel so sad because of it. I am a writer. I am a painter. I am a reader and a lover. So why haven't I been letting those things coarse through my veins like I used to? It's wrong, it's unhealthy and quite frankly it's depressing. Tomorrow I am going to buy myself some paints, I'm going to sit at home alone while Austin hangs out with his brother, I'm going to turn on some music and I am going to paint. I'm simply going to paint what I feel, what I hear. I'm so excited to let that part of me shine through again! I miss myself.
