as I sit here, I remember a year ago I was getting ready to go to Paris and waiting for the spring semester to end. well, a year has gone by, I'm not going back to Paris and I'm waiting for the spring semester to end.
I feel like a lot has changed in a year. I have changed. people have changed. I have some awesome people in my life that I would ultimately give my life for to see them happy. I'm glad for these changes and for these people.
I look at my time in college and I see that I have grown into a different person than I was when I came here. I allowed stupid things and people to run my life because I was scared of being alone and not making the right decisions for certain career paths. now the people that I consider my friends, I know are my friends. now my career path is unknown and that is ok. now the relationship I am in is something I consider loving and healthy, not one-sided and destructive.
it took a long time to get to the place I am at now. new things are expected to arrive. sure they will be difficult, but I will try to overcome them as best I can. I have finally realized I am a stronger person than I thought and do not need a million people around me to feel safe.
I hope you know who you are, because I am thankful everyday that you are my friends.
