How have I changed?

Change is something that you can not run away from. It is unpredictable and inevitable. Yet to most the idea of change scares most individuals to their core.

That she was the one I had been waiting for. Now I am in college living my life day by day. I am fully aware now that I in fact have no clue what life has in store for me and for right now that is perfectly okay with me. I have matured and grown more than I ever thought possible in just a years time. Its strange how time works. That in the grand scheme of things a year is nothing if you live what your life expectancy is. Yet within this past year I have completely changed as a person.

knowledge in just about anything. I came to the understanding that life happens sometimes and you

can take what life throws at you and learn from it. That all the mistakes I have made in my life were

opportunities for me to grow as a  women
