Wanting something too badly?

I went to a meeting for a fraternity named Phi Alpha Delta tonight.
Never have I left a meeting feeling so incredibly overwhelmed before.
I have wanted one specific thing, consistently, for the majority of my life.
I want to be in New York.
After many inconsistencies in life, as most endure, having such a powerful passion and intense love for something has always taken me off guard.
I have never loved anything or desired for anything more.
I have always known what a difficult journey it was going to be to accomplish the details of this goal.
New York University Law School is number 4 in the nation.
Tonight I got to be slapped in the face with the point-by-point facts of exactly what it takes to do so.
Luckily as I sit and try to decompress I realize, yes everything happens for a reason.
I love New York enough to, for one, try with every fiber of my being to attain the academia needed to be accepted.
New York is not something I ever put in a questionable sense.
Tonight, however, I had to go through and pick law schools from all over in order to be realistic.
As a person who is a complete mixture of realism and idealism, it was not an easy thing to do.
I WILL give my all to accomplish what is necessary to achieve my joyous goal.
If not, however, the law school in which I attend will still be great and it will be for an intended purpose.
The facts do not change with that possibility though.
I will be a New Yorker.
Possibly the happiest one you ever meet.
