365 Days

How did an entire year already dash by? I could've sworn I was emptying out boxes in my new apartment...toasting to youth & independence...and figuring out what to do with my "space". this year definitely flew by, but left with it an eventful montage of laughter, tears, heartbreaks, love, death, life, talks, reflections, lessons and affirmations. This year was quite an investment- and the best one I've ever taken so far. I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money in the world- because what I've experienced is invaluable.

So...packing up boxes again, I can't help but to trip out on the inner and outter changes I've had. Ironically, though, I feel the same but just wiser, stronger and more self- aware. It's funny to see what your capabilities are without the pretentiousness of a public self challenge..in which everyone is well aware of your goal.

I took alot out of it- most things I won't write down here. But I will say this...nothing is as ever bad as you preceive it to be; going through shit can only produce positive results- if not then you're not done going through it; time really DOES heal up most wounds; when you least expect it...His grace will manifest itself; and lastly...if you have the means and strong desire to move out on your own- independent from the crutches of your parents or friends- do it! I feel like everyone should experience that "loneliness" to truly appreciate, feel and learn that we are never truly lonely if we are comfortable with ourselves...and we have a drive to make something of ourselves.

Ok it's sounding too Disney. I can never stop giving thanks for my blessings and the love that's given to me. So thank you thank you THANK YOU!!

Farewell #125...you were an INSPIRING and interesting chapter in my life =) My patio, my fireplace, my countertops- I'll miss you guys most!

On to the next...... =)!!!!!!!!
