so here i am...at belmont university.
i never could have imagined four months ago that this day would finally come. it is everything i had hoped it would be and then some. i have a dorm room! for most people this is trivial, but for me, everything is new. every turn offers a new adventure. new faces meet me everywhere i go. new ideas, thoughts, and ways of living flood my perceptions. and its only been 2 days. imagine, if you will, 5 years!!! there people i have met are extraordinary, and the people i have brought with me wash away any vestiges of homesickness. life is beautiful, and it has picked me up, even though i never knew i had fallen. this world is comforting. belmont is truly home.
i love the fact that people are so willing to be themselves. for the first time, i am comfortable doing the same. here i am just dan. that is all. and everyone is getting to form his or her own opinion of me. and do you know what, that is freaking awesome! this world is perfect for me. i am home.
