A New Era

As I sit here typing, in my rearranged room, on my newly acquired computer, with a renewed optimism in life, I prepare my mind for the next era it's about to enter.

End of an Era

If you've known me long enough then chances are I've probably tried to communicate to you the idea of "Eras" in our lives. If you're not familiar with the idea or you've forgotten then let me explain.

Whether it's at work, school, or something in between, things in our lives will never feel, sound, taste, or appear the same as they once were in the past. Different classes in different semesters of college will welcome new faces, new experiences, and new memories. Relationships begin and then end, whether romantic or platonic. Everything that happens within these "eras" of time, whether sour or pleasant, will remind us of the way things once were. Music, food, scents, people's faces, and our surroundings will be ingrained in our minds as things associated with a specific era of time.

The last era of my life just ended. 

For the past 5 months I have not been working but rather hanging out instead. About 4/5 of that time was spent trying to relive my college past. Of course I looked for a job along the way, too. But in these times, work doesn't come so easy. Now that I've found work though I can sense a huge shift about to take place in my life. It's a feeling that we're all familiar with. Right before you began a job or enrolled in something extracurricular, at one time, you felt this same premonition. I'm having it right now and I'm announcing it to anybody that will read about it. 

Watch out world, here I come.
