Just randomly thinking about how much things have changed in a year. A loooot has happened both good and bad, but things have changed so much. Last year, I moved to this city knowing only one friend, and we barely even met. Now, I’m taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate my own efforts in making new friends. Today, I have friends here who feel like family. I don’t feel the fear of loneliness anymore but instead I feel proud of what I’ve built around me. It’s just a quick realization as I'm writing this, that nothing comes easily unless you step out of your shell and decide, “Okay, let’s make life the way I want it to be.”
