i am no longer the same.
sitting with my best friend today i realized…. the person i once was is no where near the person i am now. i found strength in a time of weakness, i’ve been dragged through hell and back and finally realized that my happiness needs to come before anyone elses. i’ve grown this confidence that seems to shield me from bullshit and lies and makes me realize that life, its messy. i’ve accepted that there are things i’ll never understand nor have the capability to change. that days come and go faster each year. the people that have stood there while i have learned more about myself and been able to emerge as a beautiful strong woman, these are the people that deserve to be there when i reach the finish line. it saddens me to see so many of the individuals that i have called my closes friends leave and turn their backs on me regardless of the situation. i opened my heart to people and learned to forgive. i’ve seen the ugly truth of what life is and how easily it can be taken away and i appreciate every moment even more for what it is. i have seen that nothing is really as simple as it seems but the ride is worth it. i’m glad to say i’ve come as far as i have and i’m ready to dive head first into another journey that will only take me farther. to the semester to come….i say cheers. lets make it unforgettable.
