“LIFE is too SHORT to wake up in the morning with regrets. So LOVE the people who treat you right, FORGIVE the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, TAKE IT. If it changes your life, LET IT. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be WORTH IT.”
Every week I learn a new lesson, and grow up just a little but more. This quote embodies everything that I have been trying to do with my life this past year…well month. I have loved my friends and family harder than before, I have forgiven those that have hurt me and begun to take chances and see where they lead me, because nobody ever got anywhere by standing still.

This past year has been crazy, to say the least. I have changed in more ways than I would’ve ever imagined possible. Looking back at the person I was this time last year I couldn’t be more proud of the person that I have become. I have grown up, I have become stronger, and my faith has grown exponentially just in these past months. I have learned to trust, I have let my guard down and allowed myself to be hurt. This may not sound like a good thing, however, it is a huge step for me to rid myself of this wall that I have been building for years and be vulnerable. Sure things don’t always work out the way that you wish they would, but for every door closed, every person that walks in and out of your life, you grow. Every misstep leads you to the path that is intended for you. I believe that this past year that was full of missteps, falls, and broken hearts is leading me to where I am supposed to be and I welcome this journey with open arms, open eyes and an open heart.
