A Skip and a Jump

Today was the first day of the rest of my life.
I don't even know why? There was just something about today.
Must have been the way the sky looked, or the way my mind was a wander...
The seasons change just as moods and feelings change.
Feelings change easier and quicker than a spark of nothingness.
A piece of mindless minutia that once meant something.
At one time meant everything.

I suppose I was kept up inside because I was holding on to something that I didn't even have let alone maybe even want for myself anymore. If that twisted explanation even makes sense. It does to me.
It was a skip and a jump. A tumble and a fall. It was life doing its thing.

I couldn't understand where I was. I didn't even have an inkling. I couldn't even understand who I was.
To them. To myself. To anyone.
I finally understand now. It's like the fog was lifted and the light seeped it's way back into my sense of mind.
... I will not know who I am for a very long time. Sure I've found certain bits and pieces throughout so far, but there is still an infinite amount left for me to find and piece together.
Life is a puzzle. We find the pieces along the way.
The day when there are no more pieces left to fit in, is the day you have lived your life to its fullest potential. It's the day you can finally just sit back and admire the beauty and the fullness of this world. Of your world.

Our futures aren't set in stone, but carved by our own hands along the way.
My future is my future. It is what I make it. I have enough dreams and ambition and love and happiness to keep myself busy with that puzzle of mine for a long time...
Until my pieces are out of stock. Until my picture is complete.
So with all that said... Here's to the future everyone. I'm so ready for it.
