"Triangles are my favorite shape"

I'm with Ellie / alt-J on that one.
A simple shape it is, the triangle...

So very straightforward

yet somehow rich with symbolism. 

Applicable to any story or situation upon which one can attach a beginning, middle and end,

or an equidistant series of climaxes that reveal themselves inexhaustibly. 

Consistent with the manner that Life likes to operate in...

one end may mark a new beginning,

one event's beginning may coincide with another's middle,

but the only sound prediction is unpredictability.

Or maybe I'm just speculating. 

I do that.

In my mind it was last week that I moved into this house, 

and this exact moment-- sitting on the floor, picnic style, surrounded by packed boxes-- seemed so far off.

I'm about to embark on the greatest adventure of my life:

I will be living and studying in Granada, Spain and traveling Europe for the next four to five months. 

This is something that I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember

but right now I'm finding myself met with more apprehension than excitement.

Ill-advised though it may be for anyone with nomadic tendencies,

I've built homes in these people here.
And despite my usual distaste for sitting still,
I am not yet ready to depart from my beautiful friends,

my town

and a particular individual who I am in so much love with;
even if only for what is but a brief journey amidst the grand scheme.

Change forges growth, though,

and growth is a continuous process.

So instead of moping around or fearing the unknown,

I am going to allow the triangles being made in my life to keep tessellating with one another,

however the Universe sees fit.

Maybe they will manifest a picture that I wouldn't have caught sight of otherwise.

Time to find out...

stay tuned.
