a few things:

i think i want to double minor in photography.

i am going to go to China next year and teach English. 

and i am going to fight and overcome my knee replacement in order to do that.

nothing is going to stand in my way.

i'm 100% New England. i'm hardcore.

and i'm going to get back the part of my life that cancer took from me.

and then, i'm going to live it.

i have a second chance. and i'm going to do something with it.

that is all. 

i'm doing okay. 

i'm wrapped in security and hope and comfort and peace and determination.

i'm remembering how to be happy on my own again.

and i'm doing okay.
