Ok...So I haven't done one of these in a long while...But I've been thinking a lot lately so why not write about it...
So thanks to the "Friendship Festival" I have come to realize even more that this small town isn't for me. I have come to the conclusion that I will be getting out of this town and Illinois as soon as possible. It seems like theres so much more out there that I am missing out on....even at ISU. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I do know that I don't belong here. I want bigger and better things to happen in my life and I am going to make them happen....I'm not just going to sit around and wait for it all to come to me. I have decided that I am going to go after my dreams...and I already have...and I can honestly say I am very proud of myself for taking the initiative. And if it didn't turn out how I hoped...well then I'm just going to keep on trying until I succeed!
I have also come to realize that God has blessed me with the most amazing people in my life. My mom and dad amaze me more and more everyday. They are keeping me on my feet and pushing me to go after my dreams. They know that I don't belong here and they support me 110 percent in my decision to leave here sometime in the near future. They are such an inspiration to have in my life and I love them both with all my heart...
My friends have, to say the least. made this summer one to remember! I am one lucky to girl to have the friends that I do...We have all maintained our friendship for many years...some even more than 10! And even though it may seem like we are growing apart I will always have a special place in my heart for you girls! You all mean the world to me and I love you all so much! Thank you for all the memories that we have made together over the years!
And then theres Mike! There is something so amazing about falling in love and knowing that you are ACTUALLY in love! When they say "You just know" you really do...and I can truthfully say that I am head over heels IN LOVE with him. He has brought so much happiness to my life...and I am the person I want to be when I am with him. He has taught me what it means to love someone...and he has inspired me to be a better person. My dreams have slowly been coming true since the day he walked into my life...and I have a good feeling that its not going to stop any time soon...
Ok so IM DONE writing about everything haha...I know it was pretty deep but I've had a lot of this on my mind lately...
Take Care and Much Love
