the question is, who really, is faye greener?

I feel very blessed at the moment. I feel like...God has allowed me to open myself up a little more and take chances. And I'm seeing the good and bad of these choices, but nonethless, it feels as though there is more good than bad. However, I am forever, at heart, the optimist.
I think last semester was really the first time I had to "travel alone" so to speak. Not in terms of physical travel, but in many different ways. I was forming my own path, and was for the most part alone in the decisions I had to make. When you travel alone, you learn a lot about yourself as an individual. What your strengths and flaws are. I am so appreciative of where I am at this moment. I love the fact that being at university makes me apart of this world I've dreamt about. Not of students, but of education! I'm getting taught by people who write books on the things I have to study. I'm getting taught by people who live in these worlds. I feel priveleged to learn about Australia from a convict descendant. To learn religion from someone who shaped my religious studies at school through their work. To learn from published journalists, writers, poets. I feel like I'm at the source of a pool of knowledge. I feel more willing and able. I feel inspired a lot lately. There is always the underlying darkness - the what ifs? the self doubt. the loss. But at the moment the light and dark are balanced.
