You could be happy...

For some reason I've been listening to the songs You Could Be Happy and Set Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol quite a bit. I really like the lyrics and they have a soothing effect on me, even though they are sad, or perhaps it's because they are sad.

I sometimes wish I knew what I want. Graduate school is finally starting to make sense and I'm finally feeling comfortable where I am. Although, I still sometimes wonder if I picked the right path or if there is a right path. I'm always reminded of the idiom - The grass is always greener on the other side. I think as long as I can be happy/content most of the time then I have chosen well, even if it's not perfect. Let's face it, nothing can be perfect, but I want to get as close as I can.

And if I don't have it all figured out right now, that's fine too. I'll just continue with what I'm doing. If other options present themselves I will consider them as they come. But for now I think I am where I need to/want to/should be.

Also, even though I'm not quite sure who all reads this, I want to say I'm grateful for the wonderful friends I have. You listen. You are patient. You explain things to me that I don't understand. You agree with my good decisions and disagree with my bad ones. Thanks for being who you are. :)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY Steph! Good to know you're happier/content-er.

Yes, I know, content-er is not a word. :P
