Nearly 5 Months Later... And The Sun is Still Rising.

Wow... it has been nearly 5 months since my last post on this blog and I feel as if I am dusting off old memories. In a way I am I suppose. 5 Months ago this blog for me was a place I could put my thoughts; a place designed to help me rest. I guess I have not needed it these last few months. And while that is all well and good I hate that I so easily abandon good hobbies... so I am back! Although I will not make any promises as to how long.

Summer is almost over, senior year starts next Monday and I will turn over the page and start a new chapter... the final chapter for one part of my life. Although I am not starting any new chapters alone. After basically 5 months of dating whom I now know is the love of probably my life I can officially say I am definitely not starting any new journeys alone. He is my constant source of earthly support and love and I honestly do not think I would have made it through my summer of independence completely sane without him. A summer that included moving not twice but three times and using my car as a mobile storage unit for two weeks.

The summer I turned 20, not so much adventure filled in the normal sense but definitely action packed with life experience and growth. These days I feel more like an adult most days than a child and in some ways that scares me and in others it makes me realize I was always on the road to becoming this person; adult life and responsibility has always come easily to me... being a child not so much.

While I am excited for this final school year to begin, I also keep reminding myself not to rush it, to make friends and memories and relish the time I have left to be a little immature at times. College has not been an easy place for me at certain points and times, but I am determined that the third and final year will be the charm, I am determined to make my college experience what I imagine it should be, and to graduate with good grades and on time!

Five months ago... I knew the sun was rising and I could see the dawn, but the sun has not set yet, my journey in life is just beginning and I am determined to make every bit of life the journey, not just parts of it. I need reminded of that sometimes, as this blog and its previous posts did for me today. So I wish you all, my dear readers, the best of luck as this new school year begins, and know you have all of my prayers and blessings to go with you.
