I'm Done Surviving

I'm done surviving.  For the last four years I have been surviving.  Or, I've felt like I am a survivor.  I am done with that.  I am ready to move on.  I'm ready to stop living my life just in survival mode.  I haven't truly moved on with my life.  It's all just been me telling myself "I am moving on" - but actaully I've just been doing things to survive. 

The last few days I've had the flu.  It hit me like a rock on Thursday.  Tonight I sit here alone and think about my life.  I realized that what I've been doing for four years is just surving.  Doing what I need to do to make it.  Now I am ready to take control of my life, quit living in the past, move on to what I want to do.  Not just do things to surving, but to do what I want to do...and not feel guilty about it.  Or, worry about what others think.

This may sound strange, as most people probably think that I've "moved on."  In ways I have, but I've aways felt like I've just been surving.  Do what I have to do to make it.  Now I want live my life like I'm doing what I want, not what I have to do. 

I am ready to live life again! - Jimmy
