It's been an entire year & change. 510 days to be exact. I still sit at my desk writing on the same platform as I did at the age of 15, feeling the same optimism, inspiration and love for my blog yet the world has flipped upside down. I'm still that 15 year old at heart, but mentally I'm closer to ending college than beginning and that fact absolutely terrifies me.
The real world?
Is it ready for me? *correction*
Am I ready for it?
The answer is complicated. I feel prepared to leave my tiny, very weirdly always warm bedroom in my parent's house yet the idea of that absolutely terrifies me. I've never been the person who liked change. My room's set up has been the same since I moved to this house, I've always had the same hairstyle, and my McDonald's order hasn't changed since 2007. Change is obviously not my forte but at the age of 20, complacency is the last thing I would ever wish for myself but I hate change.... see the predicament?
This year is going to take us on such a journey that I can't wait to see what happens. Relationships, job wise, academically.... I know I've said that change scares me, the future excites me.. it makes no sense, I'm well aware.
I have surrounded myself with some of the most interesting people that I have ever met. Never would I have thought that I would meet an heir to a fortune working at a thrift store in a small town in TX, yet I did. Did I ever think that I would meet the women I would choose to be my bridesmaids while in College? Well, maybe.... but I genuinely can say that I have!
with love,
