2015 - Hell Froze Over, and How Life's Treating Me

"I'm glad the end of the world is working out for someone," said Jon Snow to his friend. It feels like great for me too.

It's been six months and this year has been earth-shatteringly new for me. I know that I like to think that I go about my life thinking "I'm fine, I'm content". Then life sweeps you up and the world is so different.

I thought hell would freeze over before I would think about the choices I've made. I'm running and losing weight. I've made better ties with distant friends. I mended bridges with people I thought I'd never reconnect with.

Most recently: I applied for a job I never thought I could have. And it's promising how. And I hope I get it. And I hope I'm worthy of the trust it entails.

See, I thought the world would end before I would set my life straight, or before I could have even a hope at the things happening now. I thought that I was satisfied with how life would play out. Now I'm shown doors I never thought I could open. And they're within reach. 

But I need to remember to be patient. There are events unfolding now and they still take time. 

Just as I waited before things could come around, I still need to remember to wait until they are competed. 

But when once I had given up, I'm given hope. And I'm praying it'll be something real, honest, and true this time.
