Thank you.

I've been lost for awhile. Lost how? Not in the literal sense of the word, no. I know where I am (generally) but I've been lost in the more broader definition. Lost "spiritually" or "mentally", if you will. And this has created a road block for me, and more specifically, in my writing. I've hardly gone anywhere with my writing since hitting this block, and I don't even know when it first began. Last semester was okay. Not my best work, but I wasn't exactly struggling like I am now. It's as if I've lost any creativity that I've ever possessed. And now, now that I've decided to come home, it's slowly returning. Ironic, huh? I came to this damn city for my writing, and now that I'm leaving I finally am getting back to that place that my writing has provided for me. I'm gaining that creative "juice" back, going full speed ahead, and yet I'm leaving Columbia's fiction writing and going into pre-med. Maybe it's a sign? Maybe I'm not supposed to be writing in a structured environment. It will go back to being just something to do in my free time, instead of it being a top priority like it is for class. And I'm okay with that. Writing is my outlet, but sometimes I just don't have the time, energy, or discipline to sit down and write something "great" for class. I'd rather sit down on my own time and write when I feel like, as opposed to having to do it. God, it will be great to be in that particular place once again.

So I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks to who? Thanks to the road block that's finally disappearing.
