Yin and Yang

It's a weird feeling to be rejected and wanted all at the same time. The person you avoid most wants you, yet the one you adore has no interest in you.

I tell myself all the time that things happen for a reason... That if I had gone on a field trip with my Science Olympiad team in high school to Chicago, I wouldn't have gotten the multi-thousand-dollar scholarship that spanned almost 2 full years of college. If I had gotten that promotion at work, I would never have met all the amazing people when I worked at Disney World. If I had taken the full-ride scholarship to Northwest, I wouldn't be with the fabulous roommates I have now and would not be traveling to France next summer.

So... now that I have been rejected by someone I cared for, what will happen? Where will this lead me to? Who will I meet and what will I experience now? I know it will be better than what I have now. It's the transition to getting there that's hard. I hate waiting. Whether that's because I'm an American who's always on the move or because I'm impatient or lonely and want the companionship, it's the one thing in life right now that's keeping me positive.

Or rather, I hope something good will come of this....

How do you keep your eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel if you don't know which way is out?
