I must have taken the world's most magical nap today. Usually, after naps I feel tired, groggy, and usually wind-up with a headache. But today I took a one hour power nap and woke up feeling completely energized and ready to go out and do something dangerous! Starting with a coffee-shop catching up with my dear ol' buddy Nick Fedora, and then a super spontaneous drive to Chicago!
I absolutely love Chicago. Its such a beautiful city and I've never appreciated it until I moved away from it. Every time I'm home now, I make sure I hop on the train and go downtown at least once, but certainly aim for a few visits. There's so much that it has to offer, and even though I usually have everything I need in the suburbs, Chicago just gives everything a different feeling.
I may not know the whole city like many of my friends do, but I think I'm getting used to making my way around on my own. I'm starting to get to know most of the downtown area, such as Michigan Avenue and State Street, among the other main downtown-roads. But I want to get to know all the surrounding areas so that eventually I can confidently drive there myself without driving myself in circles trying to get around. Though I think I did pretty decently well when we drove to Utada, I was pretty surprised myself that we made it to Michigan Avenue without a problem. ;p
One day, I want to live there. Sure,the suburbs (which even include NW Indiana) are great, and it's only a 30 minute drive to downtown from my house, but living there would allow me to really experience things from a totally new perspective.
I've always had the feeling that after school is done with for good, that I'm going to have a lot of opportunities and a lot to look forward too. As of right now I'm sort of just going with the flow and taking things as they come, so I'm really looking forward to finally taking control for myself and creating my future.
I cannot get over how optimistic I'm feeling right now. Its like nothing can go wrong.
Best nap ever!

That must have been one hell of a nap! Chicago is sweet, it's a one of a kind city that really is engaging and unique in its own way, that not many other cities can provide. Feeling optimistic is awesome as well. Once you realize what truly matters and what is worth working for, freeing the shackles of life and the restrictions, it is a glorious feeling indeed.
