an ode to new things

so here i am, on the edge of the cliff, on the first day of the rest of my life, and all i can think about are the new things waiting for me when i jump off this cliff. the new season waiting for me somewhere below (physically below, but of course metaphorically above where i am now), my new inner circle, the walls that are breaking down, the books that are waiting to be read, the things that are waiting to be discovered. i can't wait to discover it all, to see it all. i'm ready. i've been waiting. so here's to you, new things. i've been waiting for you, and i can't wait to see where you'll take me.
