One Year

I can't believe it's already been a year since this...



It's crazy how much my life has changed just in this past year. I would have never imagined that so many things can happen within just one year. I moved to North Carolina- by myself, became depressed, came home on a whim, became even more depressed, started taking college classes, started having panic attacks, dropped out of my college classes, started taking medication for anxiety/depression- as well as thyroid medication, got a job at Learning Tree Preschool, and now starting attempt #2 at taking college classes. Standing there on that stage that night, I NEVER would have imagined that this is what my life would be like in a year. I totally thought that after I graduated I would be heading off to NC with my best friend, get a job so that we could get our own place, meet some great new friends, start a photography business, meet a great guy, and start living out my dream of falling in love and living in the country. None of those things happened. And that was really hard for me for a while. But looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so grateful for everything I went through, and I'm really starting to be happy again. I'm taking a summer class online, and it's going well, I LOVE my job, and even though I don't really have many friends anymore, the couple that I do have mean the world to me and I'm so thankful for them. I guess the biggest thing I've learned this past year is that life doesn't always go as planned. But that's okay, because even when it doesn't go as planned, it still always works out for the best, because there is someone that has a greater plan for me than I ever had for myself. :)
