One Year Ago...

My mom and my two best friends put me on a plane and sent me to Hawaii. They sent me there to heal. To be reborn. To grow. And that is what I have been doing ever since. 

I have gone through some tough times...some downright shitty, but I got out of those times. I pushed and fought, even when I didn't think I could. I know this sounds like almost every other blog post I have ever written, but I really don't care. Like I said when I started this project, this is for me more than anyone else...I forgot where I was going to go with this. So I am going to turn it into a Thank You letter.

Thank you to my family: You have all held me up and kept me strong. Your love and support means the world to me. 

Thank you to Matt and Chase: My relationships with you two are some of my most cherished. And if it wasn't for you and the love you gave to me I would never have been as brave as I was one year ago. 

And most of all, thank you to my beautiful mother: You are the most amazing woman and mother. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have someone like you to look up to and learn from. I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for your constant, unconditional love and support. I love you mama. :)

Everyone has tough times. Everyone has times that are even downright shitty. That doesn't mean you have to give up or give in. Push and fight and then you can heal and be reborn and grow. And who knows, something amazing may come from it.

When I Write A Blog Post...

I feel a little like Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and The City." Just kidding, I feel a lot like Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and The City."

Just Go For It...

Life is hard. And scary. And doing new things can be the scariest thing of all. But it is also the most rewarding you can do. I have never been the most adventurous person, but this past year I have been trying to go out and do new things and it has been the best decision I have made. I have done things I have never thought I could do and I just went for the things that I wanted. Sometimes it went fabulously and other times...it fell apart in front of me, but I do not regret any of it. So there you go. GO FOR IT! Just man (or woman) up and go for it! Take a chance and I promise you will not regret it. Love you all, now go out and go for it. :)
