Yes, they are beautiful, amazing, nice, caring, hilarious, talented, forgiving, and so much more.And yes, living with them has been two of the best years of my life.
I guess change is a natural thing though huh?
I think i'm learning that a lot these days.
It's weird to think that I didn't even know these girls a few years ago and yet they have completely changed who I am. Little did I know when I came to good ol BYU that I would meet girls who would make me change the way I look at life.
And It's weird to think that two years ago I was saying goodbye to my best guy friends in the world and I thought my life was over. And now they are almost home... Oh man that will be a good day.
As I look back on this semester I can't even put into words how far i've come. I began this year of school having no idea what my major was let alone what I wanted to do with my life. And now I am doing sociology with my minors in nonprofit management and international development, and I don't think I could have found a better fit for me. Now I am going to Thailand in NINETEEN days!!! Ahhhh 19 days! Now I know (sort of) what I want to do with my career. And now I am figuring out how to be good at college. Half way done I guess I better be figuring it out! And all of this happening in a matter of a few months.
If months can change me so much, what about years?!
If anything, I am learning that these changes are making me better. It just means I have completed the road i'm on and am ready for my next one. It sure doesn't mean I mastered the other road, just that i'm ready for the next jump. And boy is it a jump! Not a little step, or tip toe or hop to the next road. A full on jump. A jump across the ocean for that matter!
By no means do I have my life figured out. And honestly, the more I figure out, the more uncertainty that arises in other areas. Hate that. But at least i'm growing through it all. I am learning about myself and the world around me. I am growing more than I ever thought possible in my small 20 years of life.
Boy am I ready for the adventures I have ahead of me. I constantly ask, Where am I going to go from here? Every day seems to take me somewhere I never thought possible the day before. Sometimes I feel like I go backwards a bit, hopefully that's natural. But it's all part of this crazy journey called life.
Who knows where I am going to go from here? Pretty sure 3 months ago I had no idea I was going to Thailand. Pretty sure one day could change everything. Oh man life is exciting.
I have to keep reminding myself that change is a good thing. It is so hard to end this stage of my life. Living with these 5 girls has been Heaven sent. But I guess it's time for me to share them with others. And i've got me some Thai people to meet! 19 days!!!!!
