Time heals and changes all things....
Okay so I am really lame at updating my blog. I promise...back when livejournal was the popular place to be. I was there everyday writing and reading my friends' journals. Oh how time has changed. What once was referred to as "online journals" have now become "blogs." Maybe that is what made me lose touch with the internet world and stop writing. Or maybe I stopped having my teenage angst, fell in love, got married, and now have a career to work on. Who knows? When I go back and read my livejournal posts, I realize just how hard growing up was. I look at where I am now and compare it to where I was in high school. Things that have changed for the better depending upon your point of view:
1. Not so boy crazy. I am crazy about one man.
2. My relationship with God - I am so much closer, serving Him, and I know that I am living out His Will.
3. Self-esteem - wow, I cannot believe how down on myself I was. I cannot believe how I would try to get attention. I am so glad that I am no longer like that. Yes, I have my days in which I feel like I don't look my best but overall, I am pretty daggone confident and happy.
4. My dreams - Once an aspiring fashion designer, oh yes, I was even accepeted into the London College of Fashion, I have now become a teacher. And now, being a teacher is all I ever dream about. However, there is no reason why I cannot be fashionable while doing so!
5. Going to class. - This is amazing in itself. Who would have thought someone who declared every single Monday and Friday Senior Skip Days (even when not a senior) would go to her college classes when even on her death bed.
6. MARRIED? - Who would have thought? Yes, I am and I am loving every minute of it...even when he snores and it makes me want to smack him upside the head.
So those are just the top 6 things that I have noticed. Oh and yes, I am happy. I cannot remember being genuinely happy in high school. Oh, yes, I can remember the moments of happiness and joy but not the overall feeling of being content, happy, and knowing I belonged. When I went to college, it was like every bad feeling or thought I had during my high school years were erased away.
I guess I am mostly reflecting during this time because I am going to be 25 next month. Can you believe it? I hardly can. I don't have anyone who actually reads my blog anymore. Which is fine, but I know that all my online friends and once readers of my livejournal would be pretty impressed by this fact.
I embark on a new journey this upcoming week. My career. I am 25 years old and I have a career. How did this happen? When did this happen? I am elated but at the same time I wonder, didn't I just start college the other day? Nope...Court, you were in there for 6 years graduating with two B.A.s (that's right...two....call me an overachiever, I don't care because it's the truth). However, I feel like everything has gone by in the blink of an eye.
I have enjoyed my journey thus far. I am excited to see what else is in store for me.
However, do not ask me about kids. My three year plan may have been extended to five years. Haha, depending upon which children I am around.
