September 18th, 2011 (Day 261)

I had a nice day spent mostly in solitude. Sometimes I think I'm an abnormal person. I really enjoy the company of other people and often times think the people in my life are seriously the best company in the world! But there are days/times when I really just enjoy being by myself. That was today.

I took a bike ride around my neighborhood by myself this evening. It really left me feeling enlightened. I've been feeling so inspired and happy and completely content lately. It is an awesome feeling. As I rode around the neighborhood in which I've lived for the past 16 years, I had so many happy memories occupy my mind. I passed so many houses of friends (both old and current) who have once lived here but moved away at some point. It is kind of sad in a way, but I try to look at it as everyone has moved on with their lives. I know I am moving forward with my life and I am happy with my direction, even if my physical location has been the same (except for a 9 month hiatus to Detroit which I enjoyed so much!).



I'd like to caption this picture with the lyrics, "the sky is yours."

This has been my mantra lately-We are young, we have so much to look forward to, so much life left to live. I truly believe that. The future inspires me and that is an amazingly priceless feeling. The sky and the world are ours, my friends.
