Oh! I haven't told you guys! So, I have a boyfriend. His name is Michael, and he's AMAZING. I'm really happy. <3
But, anyways. Today, at lunch, we were laying in the grass on the hill and looking up at the sky, and I was just thinking about everything in my life that's gotten me here, to where I am today. I know, at the time of the incidents I was going through, I hated it. I wanted it to be over. I would have given anything to be out of that depression.
But, I look back now, and I'm thankful. If I hadn't been at such a horrible place, I would never have had the experiences that I did, the experiences that changed me so drastically. If I hadn't been where I was in my life at the right time, I never would have met my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I truly believe that God put me through everything I went through just so he could have me standing here today, proud of what I have overcome.
I know it's all Miley Cyrus-y, but her song The Climb got me through A LOT. It's like, you have to push through what you're going through, and sometimes it seems as if you're going to fall, but when you summit your mountain, and look back at everything you have gone through, and then look ahead to the beauty of what lays in store, it's all worth it.
So, I guess this is me, telling you. If you're going through something, you just have to push through it. It may seem bad, and it probably is, but you're going to make it through. And when you do, that feeling of accomplishment will be ever more joyful as you move forward, farther and farther away from your troubles, and closer and closer to the beauty and splendor of this life.
I love you guys. I really do. Whoever you are, wherever you are, just know that, please.
Call me, text me, email me, whatever. I'm always here, I promise.
