My Brain Just Keeps Going

Tonight my brain wont turn off.
That seems to be happening to me more and more these days.
I keeps pounding and pounding.
And thinking about how weird this summer has been.

How there have been some of my favorite days with my favorite people.
How I have one of the best jobs in the world! One that I hope for for years and finally had the guts to try again for. One that has made a difference in my life in more ways than anyone could have imagined or foreseen.
How nothing I had planned has actually happened.

How sometimes people are weird. And how their tiny decisions can make me feel super crummy or like a million bucks. And they don't even realize it. And whether or not they understand or realize it, they have taught me so many things this summer about myself and the way I feel about people.  The way that people can hurt you without even knowing it. And how they can completely make your day just by giving awesome hugs.

How best friends have become strangers.
And strangers have become best friends...
And how on occasion they go back to being strangers again.

How I have had four different jobs in the last few months.
How I finally quit the job I had for over a year because something better came along.

How I found a house to live in for the fall.

How I lost the best dog a girl could ask for. And how I was a wreck for a few days because of it. How even now just typing that brings tears to my eyes.

All the adventures I've been on and all the ones I've missed out on.
Not living for anyone else, but also not living up to my potential.

Setting goals and accomplishing some and not others.

Getting my food handlers permit.

Getting sick an odd amount of times.

Celebrating the Fourth of July by myself.
Without muddy buddies.

And all the late night cereal dinners after getting off work super late.






And honestly I could keep going but I will stop for your sakes!

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...
