it is scary when you realize all you have to do is ask for what you want, almost as if... its really that easy... life is only hard because we make it hard..
we do have to work for what we want, but i think we are so afraid the other shoe is going to drop, because that is what so many people say, but it wont, dont believe the negative naysayers in the world.
The world is your oyster, and you can have whatever you have the courage to ask for and work towards, as you have already proven, so now what??
Congrats on your achievements, it is a beautiful thing to be able to celebrate.
