fate.

"you can change your fate.

you can sit back,

or you can

go after your life

and all that you want it to be."

After graduation, I was so unsure about the path I was supposed to be following. I had some ideas and possibilities, but nothing seemed tangible. I wasn't trying hard enough to get anywhere... I was on a hiatus, just waiting for an opportunity to fall into my lap. I don't know why I thought staying stationary was going to start me in the right direction...

obviously, life doesn't always work that way.

Thank goodness I have an aptitude for persistence. When I find something I really want, I'll keep going for it. Without that, I wouldn't have this internship. I wouldn't have gone down to Charleston for the interview. I wouldn't have stumbled upon Daniel Island. I definitely wouldn't be moving down there this weekend.

BUT...

I did get the internship with the Charleston Magazine. I did stumble upon Daniel Island and I am moving there this weekend. And I couldn't be more ready for this next chapter to begin.

So Charleston here I come. Accompanied by Augustus and the belleville (a person can get everywhere on her bicycle on Daniel Island!), my camera, and a mindset to get as much experience as I can from my journalistic endeavors during this internship.
