The Little Things Pt. 1

I'm flying back from Boston right now and all I can say that I'm in pure bliss. Still, bad events have happened in my life recently but they haven't shaken this feeling of contentment for the last 3 weeks. I've decided I'm going to write more posts on "The Little Things", which will allow me to express my appreciation for the people, the events (good and bad), and the experiences in my life. I hope they make you appreciate the little things too. I went to Catalina last week for Intervarsity Summer Con. Long story short, I always find my way back to God, but for the first time ever, I get to share it with the love of my life. I've realized God was missing from my life for a long time, and apart from the fights, loneliness, stress of school, and financial worry...things have always turned out okay, if not better. I'm now coming home from Boston and I am so exhausted..but I also feel fuller than I ever have. I was really upset in Boston because my loan didn't disburse in time, but my mom and my sister said it's okay and are helping me out. Im away from Chris but I get to see him in a few hours and I can't wait!! That feeling of missing someone is absolutely necessary...it makes me understand why we have sadness. Because when we see them again, and when we experience even the slightest bit of happiness through a hug or seeing their face light up when we reunite...it's the little things that matter. I feel more appreciative of everything nowadays, and I am content despite the sad events in my life.

Self Discovery- Japan (1.5 Months)

It is now February 25th, just a little over one month here in Japan and my life has drastically changed! It’s hard to put into words how life has been…I don’t think I will ever fully adjust to life here, but things have drastically improved since I got here. Life is no less crazy than when I first got here….I am just learning how to deal with stress and cultural differences better. I have pretty much had a boyfriend since I was 15 years old, so I think the most difficult transition was learning to be completely alone, something that is totally new to me. My first month here was complete chaos, but I have managed to turn that chaos into productivity and creativity in the last few weeks. Meditation has become extremely important to me… I think my first month here has really given me anxiety, but by meditating just 5 minutes every day… I feel like I can handle any stressful situation now. Traveling without a friend, boyfriend, or family member forces you to sit with being alone and I’m ...

In a perfect world..

Alright. So I've never been hit harder than today. How quickly life is passing by. How I'm going to college in just a few months. It's not really distance or time that kills me the most..it's the change. I know so much is going to change. Heartbreaks. New friends. Adulthood. I'm prepared for the rigor of college..I'm not completely prepared for change. Four years will fly by..just like my high school years did. My advice for those younger than me: enjoy every single moment. I'm not exaggerating...don't take anyone or anything for granted. Understand that life is not perfect. It doesnt have to be perfect to live. It's so cliche, but life is so freakin short. Be happy with everything you have. Never hold grudges. Love everyone. Love all. I love you all..and I'm going to miss everyone so much. If you'll excuse me I'm just having an emotional moment hahaha! Peace out :)
