tonight i put on my new boots and i went to dinner with an old friend. she blew me away. i’ve always believed that people can change but i’ve never actually seen it happen. i feel proud to be apart of her life and i can not wait to see what the future has in store for her. she gives me hope.

i then went home and caught up on some much needed talk time with my wonderful roommate rachel. it’s hard to appreciate your roommates unless you’ve had bad ones, this i know for a fact. 

now i’m sitting under a heating blanket with my love procrastinating and thinking about my own future. Words can not express how thankful i am for every single person that has ever been apart of my life. i’ve said that more than a few times this year but i swear i’ve meant it every time. i can not wait to teach. i can not wait to help children. i can not wait to take my time accomplishing everything that i know i’m capable of. 

it’s hard to realize how much you yourself have changed until you see change within the people around you. i’m happy. i’m loved by not only others but by myself.

now i will go smoke, talk, and then go to bed. happy.
