A Parting Thought

From The Fault in Our Stars: 

"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this life, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."

I like my choices.

I hope you like yours. 

Yikse (yes, that's spelled correctly)

I'm kind of an essentialist when it comes to a lot of things, including what I want out of life. I realized not too long ago that maybe that's not as good a thing as I thought it was--that maybe my dreams were too small.

As I type, I'm looking at scholarship opportunities in the UK. Again.

That turnaround was quick.
