Progress!

After feeling stuck for so long. I almost feel like there is some progress in my life!

After seeing four different doctors, we have finally found one who was able to figure out what was wrong with my hip! Turns out the left side was tilted forward. To fix it we're going to try some different stretches, he wants me to come in Tuesday next week and see how I'm progressing. About time!

I'm finally making the decisions I need to progress forward with my life. I've decided for my health, I will be taking a season off from drum corps. Probably one of the hardest decisions I've made so far. Three years of putting my heart and soul into the activity, and now I have to take a break. I know it is for the best. It will give me time to heal and right now that's what I need. That unfortunately does not make it any easier.

I plan on spending the summer working and going to school full time. I am still unsure of my major, I thought I wanted to stick with writing, but I think I'm going back to physical therapy with a minor in sports med. I think that fits my lifestyle better. I can always continue writing on the side. That way my writing stays special to me, and doesn't end up being a task.

I'm doing a lot less for everyone else and a lot more for me. I think it's adding to my progressing happiness. I've also realized who is important in my life, and who isn't. Coming to that realization has made my decisions so much easier, because my real friends, support me in every choice I make. They tell me what they think, but support me no matter what.

These probably sound insignificant and pointless to all you readers... but to me... The're putting me into a better place. I feel like I'm finding my happiness.

 Song quote for this entry comes from The Heart of the Matter by India Arie

"All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside"
