I have lived.

It’s been a long time since we last visited. Sometimes life gets crazy and things get pushed aside. And when that happens, as much as I love writing this blog, this is one of the things that gets put on the back burner. A lot has changed, a lot has been learned, a lot has been enjoyed, and a lot has been loved. Since this summer when I last posted I have changed my major, changed jobs twice, changed where I live, who I spend time with, where I go. I ended my A-Team summer and I got hired on for another year of the best thing in my life. I’ve been healthy and I have been sick. I drove to California on a little bit of a whim and I have traveled home. I welcomed home my best friend from her mission and sent my sister out on hers. I have laughed and loved and felt sorrow and picked myself back up again. I have met knew people and learned of their lives, their stories. I have talked and I have listened.

In short, I have lived.

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...

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...
