Part of growing up is leaving the nest. Spreading your wings and learning how to fly. Taking that leap of faith. Falling. Getting back up and trying again. Each time you might fall, you feel the pain no doubt.But you also feel the encouragement and faith of people around you; family, friends, and mentors.
People who believe in you day in and out.
People who invest in your future.
People who listen to your problems.
People who brush your tears away.
People who give you a firm push to try again.
People who love you.
I know for a fact that I am the luckiest girl alive to have something everywhere I go that makes saying goodbye so hard. Whether I'm home, or in Charleston which is my home away from home.I guess that's why I never say goodbye. Because I know in my heart that I will see them again. The love, bond, and connection of our relationships is woven into my journey with Christ. The people that I love never truly leave me, they're always in my heart.
In December I will be saying goodbye to Charleston as I head home for a few months and pack for England. Then on January 25th at 6:15 PM, I will say good bye to home, my family, and friends and embark on the journey of a lifetime to Nottingham, England.
Excited is an understatement.
19 years young. College of Charleston student. Born on the fourth of July. Taking life one step at a time with the love of God as my guide. I don't know what I want to do after college. I do know that I want to travel the world, cross everything off my bucket list, and make a positive impact. I live below the Mason Dixon line, and I can't remember the last summer I haven't been to the beach. I consider myself blessed even on my darkest days.

Cutting of the Ceremonial Red Ribbon; First Post
Life.
It's such a funny thing. You spend all your time thinking you want something. Then when you finally get it, it's not what you pictured. Your mind played it up to be grand. Remarkable. Mindblowing. But maybe that's the gift of life itself. You don't get too comfortable. By keeping you on your toes, you learn to appreciate what you have, love who you can, and laugh when it's possible.
Lee Brice sings a song that has become my life motto. Seriously. I've looked into tattoos, but there's so many words that it looks painful. And I'm somewhat of a chicken.
Be a best friend, tell the truth
Overuse 'I love you.'
Go to work, do your best.
Don't outsmart your common sense.
Never let your praying knees get lazy.
And love like crazy.
So life.
It is a funny thing. In ways that you cry, smile, giggle, and hug. So embrace the unpredictability. Enjoy the ride. And remember that if God brought you to it. He'll bring you through it.
stay beautiful,
♥always
