The Calm After the Storm

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship." - Lousia May Alcott

you know when you have those moments where you reflect and you can actually tell how you've grown? where you think, "wow, a year ago, a similar situation would have made me react so differently?" today, i'm having one of those moments. and while it may feel less calm as the days go on, right now i just want to cherish the immediate feeling.

i cried, not out of sadness for what didn't happen, but out of joy for everything that has.
i value my optimism, but never like i have at this exact moment.
what's meant to be will be. if the timing is right, nothing is impossible.
i lost a little, but i gained soooo much more.
life didn't turn out exactly as i'd planned this time, but sometimes things turn out better that way.
there were bumps along the way, but i have grown and learned every step of the way.
i am left with a friendship that means the world to me, and for that i will be eternally grateful.

i. am. blessed.
