New beginnings.

Every now and then, you need to sit down, free your mind of your current mood, and get ready for a new age. For me, now is one of those times. One month before the biggest most exciting change of my life, transitioning from a child still dependent on my parents' allowance, to completely taking care of myself--in a new city, new position, with new surroudnings.

Yes, I'm excited. Yes, I'm a little anxious. But hell yes, I'm ready for a new beginning.

College was great, I met awesome people, learned an amazing amount of stuff that I was barely aware of beforehand, but also to never confuse my career with my life. Moderation is everything; that's one of the wise wods that Beckman left behind, and something that I still have yet to fully learn. The great balancing act continues...

New beginnings are a great moment to renew yourself, but I'm still not perfect, going into this next step. A lot of interviews ask about my greatest weaknesses--I've given a different answers every now an then, but they've something like follows:

- Sometimes, I'm impatient..
- Often, until I remind myself not to be, I'll be strongly devoted to one point of view...
- When things aren't going smoothly with people, I often spend an inordinate amount of mind and effort to reconcile things...
- And lastly, often, I don't know when to give up...

I'm aware of these weaknesses because I see them in my day to day routine, and of course, they're not always weaknesses; when the time is right, these can all be amazing strengths. In the next step to come, my goal is to get a better grasp of myself, my situations, and how to handle them in an ideal manner.

I go into this next step with a partially undefined future--but like my weaknesses, this also has a strength: Anything is possible.

New blog, new beginnings.
