Truth Challenge: Day 27

Day 27: What’s the best thing going for you right now?

I feel like I have my entire life ahead of me. I don’t know what I want to “do” yet and I’m excited to graduate and to start figuring it out. I have so much potential and there are so many paths I could take. I can get a job in another city, I can get a job near home, I can settle down, I can travel the world, or a number of other things. I can pick my friends, start a family, and do all of the things that other people are experiencing right now. I can make my dreams come true. I will do it to. I have faith that my dreams will come true. And if they come true, it’s going to be because I’m me, not because of anyone else.

I’ve just started my reunion journey although at times a year can feel like forever. I have two sisters who are going to find out about me in the future. It’s going to be hard, and I’m sure there are going to be times when I’m frustrated, hurt, and angry, but at the end of the day, I’ll have two more sisters. They may want nothing to do with me and I’ve considered it as a possibility. I’ve even blogged about it. But they might want me for their sister. And to be honest, that makes me excited. I’m beyond caring at this point if it hurts my adoptive sister’s feelings. She needs to get over it. I also will hopefully someday have the chance to meet my natural grandparents, learn my family history, explore my ethnic background, and get to know my family in a way I never thought I could. I have time to do these things (well, maybe not with my grandparents but that’s another story for another day). I have all of this going for me right now. I have the world at my feet, or at least that’s what it feels like on good days.

I have so much ahead of me. I know it won’t always be easy, and it’s going to be hard. There will be days when I don’t want to get out of bed. There will be days that I want to jump up and down for joy. It’s a rollercoaster, and I plan on enjoying the ride.
