22 Years

For the last 22 years of my life, I've been working towards something. But maybe what I've been working towards isn't the 9-5 job, and the decent salary, and the okay place to live. Maybe it isn't the new honda and the swingset in the backyard and the big screen TV. Maybe what I've been working towards is actually the ability, and the courage, to choose something other than that which is expected. Maybe it's the personal faith in myself to know that I can do anything in my life, and it will turn out okay. Maybe it's the understanding that there doesn't have to be understanding all the time. Or, most importantly, maybe it's the knowledge that there is no right answer, except for the happiness you feel inside yourself each day.
