there’s not a person in this world who hasn’t embarrassed themselves or hurt someone or made a mistake. learn and grow from these things, rectify them if you can, but don’t dwell on them. we are all human; we are all imperfect.

Three months from now I will be better, happier, wealthier, and more stable than I have ever been.

it takes years to learn the difference between who to let go and who to be patient with. the same way it takes years to know what you deserve and what you don’t. so hang on there, growth and experience come with time.

It’s been a while

I turn 26 tomorrow and I’ve been doing more reflecting than usual over the past year, even more so the last few months. I feel like there are so many moments, opportunities and places I’ve taken for granted. Even a few people I still think about and wonder if I could’ve done something differently. Although 26 is still fairly young, I do kind of feel like I’ve wasted quite a few years of my own life that I’ll never get back. I’ve lived here since 2013 and will be moving out of state at the end of July. Truthfully, I really don’t want to go. For more reasons than one but this is the place I proudly consider home. I’ve built so many deep connections to certain places, it feels like I’m leaving parts of my soul behind. Looking back, while I try not to regret too much, I can’t help but feel incredibly weighed down by the fact I could have made better or different decisions throughout my early 20′s. So much could have been different now if I had just done things differently then, but that’s life I guess. Until that inevitable day in July I’ve been trying to spend as much time as possible in the places I love, doing the things I love to do. I do plan on visiting when I can, and hope to move back one day, but who knows what will happen. Regardless, I’m long overdue to make some changes. Here’s to another year of life, hope I don’t mess it up too bad.
