My Emotional Roller Coaster

So I know it has been a while since I have blogged anything and for that I do apologize. I don't know who reads this if anyone does, but I should be better about being more regular with my posts. The truth is this....I have wanted to post multiple times actually, I just cant get my words straight. And it has been extremely frustrating. I am at a spot in my life where things just are. I don't even know how to explain it better than that. Things just are. They are frustrating and tiring and good and confusing and strengthening and humbling and I don't even know what to do with myself. I have no job (and not do to a lack of looking I must add), and no car, I have been sick for like a week now which is SO overrated, and I am a little overwhelmed with school work right now. I desperately want this semester to be over with, to know what I am going to be doing/where I am going to be living this summer, and actually have some concrete plans. And let me tell you, I am an emotional person! (I started tearing up at an ABC Family show tonight...SERIOUSLY, WHO DOES THAT?!) I am constantly finding myself in a state that is not necessarily in my comfort zone dealing with the unknown. And then I go to a conference, or an institute class, or get a text from a friend. I find an old picture or talk to my sister on the phone, or just enjoy a sunny day. I learn something new in class or I am reminded through the trials of others how truly BLESSED my life is, and then I get all frustrated and emotional because I get angry with myself for how stupid I have been acting. I hate how often I feel like my life is the only one that is hard. I hate how I feel like everyone else is just happy and for some reason I cant get myself to let go sometimes and just enjoy life. I hate it. And then I am back to where I started and am frustrated all over again. Life is beautiful, why do I let things bog me down sometimes. And then I look at the truly beautiful life I DO HAVE and I cant help but smile, for I have be given so very much! So many tender mercies from the Lord. And so many wonderful examples of how to do it right. I am grateful for the people in my life who allow me to be a part of theirs. And that may sound silly, but for a girl who is trying to figure out exactly who she is now that who she was isn't there anymore, it is TRULY a blessing to feel the love of some amazing people in my life. The truth is I am just trying my best to be the very best version of my self I can be and each and everyday I learn something new from people around me who are much braver, much smarter, much stronger than I am.

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
