Why...

As I sit here and ponder on all the things that are running through my head, and think why hasn't this big move hit me yet? Why does it feel like its perfect transition for me? Why haven't I felt that pain of wanting to go back to Duluth so bad? Why haven't I felt homesick yet? These plus many more questions are flooding my brain and I seem to not have an answer for any of them.

Don't get me wrong I love Duluth, and yes I miss my friends dearly, but to me this feels like a dream come true. This is everything I wanted and more. You remember when you were a child and dreamed of becoming famous, a doctor, a musician, a firefighter, a magician, or being in a rock band? Your parents would just laugh at you and tell you "You can be whatever you want, we will always love you". From that you always got the impression that they will always be happy for you as long as your happy by making those dreams come true. Right? As many know occupations change of the years of your childhood and as you grow up they become more practical. For instance, a salesman, a nurse, and a teacher. But in some parents minds they still want their child to be famous or to be that doctor. Why? Why can't you let your child dream? Why push that child away from there dream of being a teacher? It's not all about money, or being famous, its about chasing that dream into reality. It's about becoming that adult you want to be, that person you want to become. Thankfully for my parents they gave me there input on how they felt on my decision in life and went no further. My dream ever since middle school was to become a Dental Hygienist. My parents were a little shocked at first and to where about I came up with this, but they supported me one hundred percent behind my dream. To look back at this makes me grin from ear to ear. Most parents would be pushing their child to do better, for instance to become a nurse instead. However, mine did the exact opposite and are supporting me to my dream.

So why do these questions still keep flooding my head...


why?


The question is answered on why this move hasn't hit me yet, why I haven't gotten homesick, and why It's a perfect transition. Every since I was a little I always would tell my parents that I wanted to end up in the big city. The city with traffic, the lights, the shopping malls, the people, but yet still be close to family. I would ask why don't we live here? Why do we live in no mans land? Why? Why? Why? As with many kids that is a come question to ask. My mom would tell me dad's and I dream wasn't to live in the big city, it was to be in a small community with family. I'm following my little kid dream and ending up in the big city with the endless possibilities. I'm also furthering my education to become a Dental Hygienist and I feel that is why I haven't felt any regrets with this move. Because I'm where I want to be and my dream is about to come true. With that I leave you with a quote that I read quite often when I patiently waited for the acceptance letter to come in mail.

Making Dreams Come True

If you desire to move forward in life towards fulfillment,
you should not, at any time complain about the obstacles.

To complain of difficulties is to betray weakness and lack of faith.
Every obstacle is a golden opportunity for further progress.

Those who transfer obstacles into opportunities are true leaders.
They make dreams come true.
