Try new things, explore, face your fears! This summer I feel like i've done so much that I normally wouldn't do. After my long time boyfriend and I broke up, my whole world changed. I didn't know who I was because I had been this person's girlfriend for 6 years. I realized that i had liked what he liked, I did what he wanted to do, and I was the person he wanted me to be. When it was over, I didn't know what to do. This was at the end of May and i thought it was going to be the worst summer. I was afraid to take my science summer classes, start my internship with people i didn't know, and be really alone for the first time but everything worked out for the best. I no longer have my dog, my hunting stuff, or the same mind set i used to. For the first time this summer I drove to the Outerbanks by myself, went to a concert at Rams head, went to artscape, explored gettysburg, went to games, hung out with old friends, stayed out to look at stars, etc. It's been great. 
I have had to work a lot and study hard but it's still been a great summer that I wish wouldn't end. But i'm ready for the semester to start since i don't have anything holding me down. I can like things i couldn't before and focus on what i want. After a friend passed away this summer, you really have to do things that make you happy and not take anything for granted. I've been true to myself this summer and I think it's made me more creative. I've surrounded myself with creative people and other artists that have really inspired me.
"Just don't give up on trying to do what you really want to do.
Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."-Ella Fitzgerald
