Life as I love it

isn't it funny how three months ago, all i could post about was how excited i was for summer, and now i can't WAIT to go back to school?? five more days! :)

freedom. independence. companionship. education. here i come.

i grew up a lot mentally this summer. i grew into myself and became more comfortable with who i am and what i stand for. going back to school will be the true test of how strong i am in what i have discovered over the past few months. i hope that it sticks. i hope that when i am tested i am capable of holding my ground and can withstand the urge to shrink away. i pray that i will continue to grow and continue to travel successfully down this path that i have started forging. i hope, although i expect it to be difficult, that the bigger decisions i will be making this semester really are for the best and that i will eventually see that it was the right thing to do.
