A change of location, perhaps a change of pace.

I'm going home to York, Pa for Halloween weekend much to my boyfriend's chagrin. He hates whenever I go anywhere without him. I'll admit to having separation anxiety too.

But I really need a break from the responsibility and routine that I have while living in Pittsburgh. I haven't seen my parents in over 3 months and I've been missing them terribly. I also want to see friends, catch-up, and cut-loose.

I'm anxious to see what the weekend will hold. I'm hoping that a change of scenery will reenergize me.

My parents are the source of a great deal of support and encouragement. They have guided me over the years and helped me to develop my talents. I honestly think I could do just about anything career-wise and they would be proud of me as long as I was happy.

But it's not as though they have let me go through life willy-nilly. My parents have always encouraged and sometimes enforced discipline. I often think that it is the discipline that my parents have instilled in me that keeps me steadfast on my path towards getting a bachelor's degree (whether it's in journalism or something else). It is this mental and emotional perserverance I must attribute to them.

I hope that talking with them over the weekend will eradicate my overwhelming sense of self-doubt and offer some reassurance.
