i just have to say to anyone who is growing tired of this city..or thinks it's 'lame', or 'the most shitty town in the world', i think you should be taken away for a minimum of three months, with no option to return or with no time whatsoever to come back for a weekend to visit, and see how much that will change your outlook. i have not been home since august 19, and it really is an eye-opener of how much i took for granted. not only my family, friends, and pets, but this beautiful city in general.
over these last few months, i have been so homesick at times, i didn't think i would make it through my first semester of college. but i stuck through it, and managed to. it was really difficult though, i'm not gonna lie. but i seriously am so happy to be back home for thanksgiving. everything is perfect. i love my family so much. and my home. and jacksonville. and the weather is amazing. life is beautiful<3
one complaint i have is: NOT ENOUGH TIME!!! i seriously have the longest list of people to see and spend time with, but i know for a fact i wont get to 75% of them because i leave sunday, and i only have two days left=[ but i promise to everyone that Christmas break will be the time when i visit with alll my friends!
so far, break has been awesome. wednesday night was fun at fuel. saw a lot of friends, harloe played amazing. thanksgiving i gained 10lbs, but whatever. today spent the whole day with my mom. tomorrow, shopshopshop, then boat parade at the landing with my loves, then beach to hangout with my boys!! =]
things are different now. but change is a constant and my life is in God's hands so I know I am taken care of. ever since the end of july my life has been a rollercoaster. i've lost people who i need most in my life right now, but i have no control over their decisions. so, i'm stuck just wondering if a friendship will ever be rekindled..
