it seemed like a good idea at the time.
moments....monuments.
i love it here.
i missed everyone.
since being back, i sometimes forget that i ever left.
the view from my bed is the exact same as in 109.
we blew a fuse on sunday morning.
i wasnt frustrated. i embraced it.
because that is what always happens when six hair dryers, five straighteners, three stereos, and one iron are on.
the food is the same.
six o'clock dinners are a perfect break from avoiding hw.
sanctuary is still a blessing in so many ways.
sitting with everyone in Offering felt almost necessary.
feeling open-minded at church was just missed.
Yes, people have changed.
change is natural and necessary.
honestly, i dont want to be this same girl in a year from now as I am now.
i love the ups and the downs from move in day of last year until now.
A year ago i wouldnt have believed what was in store for me freshman year.
But a week ago, i wouldn't have believed what has happened to me this year.
Someone told me that Sophomore year is a let down.
Because things arent new anymore.
They lied.
Things are new.
Relationships are different.
They can be stronger and give you love and hope.
Or they can be weaker, but the stronger ones give you strength to fight for the ones you love and the ones you've lost or let go.
I cant go back and fix anything.
And even the stuff that i would like to has really impacted people.
and it has given me the opportunity to see how much i really do mean to them.
I didnt know people would ever love me like they do.
I am honored and flattered and impressed with their honesty.
Because there are days when i thought, "If he/she only knew how much i love them."
But i never thought, "If i only knew how much he/she loves me."
Daily there is something that makes me think.
But sometimes God just blows me away.
He can take something completely self-centered and turn into something Holy.
