Every Way But Back

My parents have left for a two week trip to Europe. The last day was the first day I have spent by myself in a little over a year. I have been reflecting on the past, the present, and the future. My reflective state is probably also caused by the period of theater history I am studying in my Dramatic Performances: Renaissance to Present class. In class we are studying "Existentialism" and we recently read "Waiting for Godot". I have come to the mini-conclusion after thinking about "deep stuff" that the best outlook on life is up and forward. Optimism and hopefulness or looking toward the future and expecting good things to come from it is the best way for me to live my life. I am determined to spend my time enjoying the present, forgetting the past, and anticipating the future.
