I've been skipping through life this week in a way that I haven't been able to in years. I feel lighter and younger. I feel the world open up in front of me.

My thoughts keep wandering back to college, to a certain point in time when I finally felt like myself and not just a person waiting for her life to start. I miss those days. You never appreciate anything until it's gone and all you have left are hindsight and memories.

But I'm going dancing tonight! Life is good.
