During my early morning drive to school, I could’t help but to compare this day to my many first days of school growing up.  Looking back, over stimulation, insecurities, and narcissism got the best of me.  Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I was a crier.  I’m still a crier in intense situations, don't hold that against me, though.  Anyway, things are different now, naturally.  I have very little fear, I challenge anything that might make me feel uncomfortable, and I embrace change.  I'm like a tiger...Rawr!

On my way to school, I had a lump in my throat.  I had the most intense feeling of finally being on track with my life!  It has only been a of detour of 26 years to get here!  I'm grateful the detour wasn't any longer!  I'm so freakin' excited, I almost can't stand it!

The entire day was totally RAD!!!  I have never called a first day of school “rad” before; it was usually “I hate it!  I never want to go back! (Sniffle, sniffle, sob)”
