Day 129: Survival

Next week at this time I will have completed my first year at Liberty. This, my friends, is honestly hard to believe. I have been through so much in the last year that I don’t know how I am making it out alive. So much stress, drama, and disappointment have darkened my door.

While that has happened, I have also had a lot of amazing moments. I have the best friends possible. These people love me for me, despite the mistakes and flaws. At the end of the day, I know whom I can call at 2 in the morning.

I also went to Miami and learned a lot about myself and about God and about helping others. I think I know what I want to do with my life. Even though I am not totally sure, I might try and see if that direction is open to me.

I would like to make a shout out to a few people who really have impacted my life.

First, I would like to thank my parents. Their love and support is more than I deserve and more than I could ask for. I love them so much and I’m excited to come home and spend the summer with them. I can’t believe my time with them is going by so fast and soon I have to be on my own. I won’t be ready for that I don’t think, because they are my best friends.

Second, my best friend in the world: Lizzy. I have missed her greatly and I can’t wait to see my soul sister in just a few weeks. She means the world to me. Without her support and love, I would not have survived. I miss making videos with her and eating too many hot tamales. I hope we can hang out a million times this summer. I love you. Thank you bestie.

Third, I would love to thank my best friend here at Liberty. Her name is Vanessa. This girl and I have gone through the ring of fire and have made it on the other side. We are smarter people and we know so much more than we did last year. She and I can laugh about anything and coffee dates with her are the best. I love this girl and can’t wait to see her again in the fall. We plan on going to every single basketball game and having plenty of hang out nights at my apartment. I love you Vanessa. :)

Fifth, I have to thank God. As the song goes, ‘You are my strength when I am weak’ and I definitely have been weak this year. God has opened doors for me and shown me my worth. I have been blessed beyond words.

Thank you readers. I hope I impact just one person’s life. That would make all this writing worth it.
