Looking back

One of the best things about blogging is being able to look back and
learn. I turned 24 yesterday. As part of my birthday celebration, I’ve
been reviewing all my blog entries from the past year.

I’ve changed a lot, and I’m going to change a lot more in the next year.
Looking back, I can see how my life is so different from what it was
then. Most of the changes feel right, as if I’m becoming more like
myself. Some don’t feel as good—sometimes even painful. I’m still the same girl who wrote about missing family, friends, and cat….

Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. I’ve
made a few short-term decisions that have been and will continue to be
painful or sad. Like most people, I make those choices because I think
it will work out in the long run. Not only do I think it will work
out—I think it will be wonderful.

We’ll see…
