The Path Less Taken.

so yes, my life has been accelerating at the speed of light....
2010 has truly been a wild year thus far....

from.....
experiencing depression symptoms at its worse... intake of celexa to control emotional fluctuations...
going away on vacation to hong kong/taiwan and coming back with a much broader perspective of life
making a very hard decision to walk away from some things/people
going through a 365 degree personality change..... crazy drinking/partying and sketchy lifestyle
in/out of the hospital countless times for the stupidest reasons....
almost failing school and getting the record-breaking lowest grades ever in my life

to..............
meeting the love of my life... yes the "one"
"teleporting" my life from one end of the spectrum to another
going back to church after almost 4 years of disconnecting myself spiritually
getting my license, enjoying driving then crashing the car and injuring my back
grandfather passing away.....
nonstop chaos in the family... moving away and in with leo
made a life-changing career decision ....launching my own business...
quit my position at Microsoft....
being financially supported and not having the burden to worry about rent/food/tuition
going on vacation to the west coast to "see" my family :)


sometimes i stop and think.... WHOA! what the hell is happening?
i've always been a person that plans for everything... and thinks typically go according to plan...
and yet.... EVERYTHING that's occurred in 2010... is NOT within plans..
i did not plan to go on vacation to asia
i did not plan to break out of a 3 year relationship
i did not plan to almost-fail school
i did not plan to become a crazy socialite - partying/drinking 4 out of 7 days a week
i did not plan to crash the car
i did not plan for my grandfather to pass away
i did not plan to go back to Microsoft then quit after 3 months
i did not plan to launch my own business so quickly
i did not plan to meet the person i'd be spending the rest of my life with so soon
i did not plan..... to have to think about changing my role in life so soon...


and yet.....in the midst of such spontaneity............
i am happy...i am satisfied
i feel settled......
sure, i'm not walking the typical path that my peers are taking...
but things work out a certain way for a reason....

and besides, i always truly believe that..... my life was destined to be different....
the path less taken.
