New Incarnation

For the third time since this blog was formed...wow two years ago, I have decided to change the title. As I was trying to think of what to rename the blog -- thinking about how I feel all my creative writing energies have deserted me, that as soon as I figured out where I want to go with my life I feel more singular and not as variable as I once was, and how seemingly all that was once familiar to me is slowly starting to fade away as I enter my last semester of college -- Pink Floyd's Is There Anybody Out There started playing in my head. There are no other words than those, it's spoken-sung plaintively, hardly begging and desperate, yet still full of something unfulfilled. The simple acoustic guitar arrangement has a more melancholy feel to it. I'm not sure what it is, but simplicity in musical arrangements make me sad.
Anyway, this is the last time in my life where I will have to go to school. Mind you, I've been in school since I was three so this is a big change for me and you'll pardon if I feel just a tad intimidated. As ready as I am to leave, and I have no desire at the moment to go to grad school, I am fully aware of the difficulties that lie before me: a bad job market and economy, a governor who thinks that I'm wasting my time and tax payer dollars on a liberal arts education, and a field that is just as much about talent as it is about connections. Yet that is life, the life I have chosen to live. Maybe this blog will chronicle my journey and plaintively ask "Is there anybody out there willing to join me? Is there anybody out there who can guide me, advise me, help me?" Is there anybody out there?

    I am here, Monica. I've always wanted to be here for you. I know that, since you're growing up and changing the course of your life for other frontiers, there is very little I can do for you. However, you can trust that the distance is not going to prevent me from doing all I can to support you and help you through the real world. Life is harsh and frequently unfair, but it's a lot easier to manage when you have a good friend.

    Always remember, though, that the strongest and most able person you can look to for help is yourself. You can do a lot more for yourself than anyone can, even me. I'll be willing to help as much as I can, but in the end, the most difficult trials and challenges that you have to face are the ones that you need to deal with yourself. Never forget that.

    I will always love you.

    Of course I have to deal with life by myself, but it's nice to have people to cheer you along. I appreciate all the support you've given me and I'm glad you're along for the journey -- even if it is from X number of miles away. I'll always love you too.
