I've been thinking about doing this for a long long time and am finally taking the leap. This blog will serve as great a creative outlet for me through my future endeavors. If my content can just touch one person's heart then it will make it all worth it.
Graduating high school is one of the hardest experiences I have ever gone through. It is a cut and dry end to one chapter and the beginning of another. Going to a small school, graduating with 12 other people, it is more than leaving the place you were taught in for the last four years, it is a second home. The people you leave behind are not just peers and faculty but your family and mentors. Frankly, if I had the choice I would probably want to stay in that safe space forever. Graduation forces me to move on, to push myself to grow further.
The last few months of high school left me very lost, with the uncertainty of where I would be in the Fall and what I would study. So many questions lay in front of me and I felt helpless. Previously, I had always known school would start again in the Fall, but my impending graduation meant my future was up to me. There was no more school to fall back on. Tears frequently fell from my eyes. I tried to distract myself from reality through movies, shows, and music.
A week before graduation and I could finally feel hope again. All my fears disappeared. While the uncertainties still exist, I am at peace with the path I have chosen. God put me on this path for a reason, and I know something great will come out of the experience that lies before me.
As I enter into college in the Fall I am entering new territory. I will have to establish myself in a new place, start back from ground zero. Change has never come easily to me. From moving homes to moving schools, I have never seemed to want to leave where I was. I'm the girl that finds the beauty and joy in everything. Though, change happens. It is part of life. All I can do is make the best of it. So here I am trying to make the best of it. Starting a new chapter and embarking on this new journey.
I do not yet know what God's plan for me is but I do know that He will work through me and guide me every step of the way.
