The beginning of something new

"Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire..." -Regina Spektor, "Two Birds"

Six months ago, my life changed. I left my little world I'd lived in for eighteen years, left home, left pretty much everything I'd known to go chasing my dreams. College life is great; I absolutely love it. But, as I was talking to my roommates the other day, it really hit me that the things I'd been dreaming of for so long are pretty much happening now. I want to capture my perspective on this while I can. I want to give the obsevation of the bird on the wire as I spread my wings and try them in the sky.
I've always been an observer, and part of this will be my take on the things I see and think about. Tied to that is the fact that I'm an aspiring writer, and what better way to practice and get some feedback? Publishing in any form is absolutely terrifying, so I really should get used to sharing my writing with others!
So we'll see where this little project takes me. As I try out the new wings of adulthood, I look forward to the view from the sky.
