I'm home for the first time in eight weeks. And let me tell you, it feels weird. After being at school for so long and being used to being there, it is just kind of strange. It was even weird yesterday when I would see my dog come into the room. It didn't feel real after being away from him for so long.
Today I got to have lunch with my best friend from high school, Lauren. We went to eat Mexican food and sat across the table getting updated on each other's lives. And it is incredible how different things are now. Every piece of my life seems to be changing. And the girl writing this right now is not a fan of change, my friends. I've been known to have a hard time with it. But all of these changes are so good. God is so good. And He is taking care of me, and I know with absolute certainty that I'm absolutely right where I'm supposed to be when I'm at school. God has given me friends this year that feel a lot more like family, and I can't even describe how amazing that is.
I know that I still have a long way to go, but I feel like I'm finally turning into the girl I've wanted to be for a long time. And that is an incredible feeling.
Things are just finally looking up, and that is such a blessing.
