As 2011 comes to an end I realize some things I never realized about me.


I’m stronger than I ever thought,

I’m more outgoing than I imagined,

I’m braver than ever thought possible,

I’m independent but I still need people,

And I’m really becoming me.

I always wanted to be something my dad would be proud of and maybe that fact was the very thing holding me back from discovering who I really am. I see now that my dad loved me, not for who I tried to be but for who I was. And now that I am going on finding myself figuring out who I really have always been, I’ve realized that some of the things I did was just a little bit of who I was. Moving 20 hours away from the only town I had called home was so scary to me, even though I never showed it. I cried at the thought of leaving my siblings and friends behind, but I knew in my heart that it was what God had planned. Now I’m here and I found friends that I couldn’t imagine my life being without, and I’m seeing my true personality come out. I’m still discovering who I am but I have a better grasp on my life now than I did then.
