This is a picture of me last April!
Aside from the shorter hair and obvious weight gain, I am having a hard time finding ways I was different from last year! I don’t think that I have changed that much… I have really worked on letting go of some things that have happened in the past. I guess that has changed me in the fact that I am getting over things, and moving past them. I have learned to forgive those who hurt me. I have really learned to confide in my family. I have gotten to know them and trust them in ways I never knew I could. (I know this is kind of a cheesy blog post… And I apologize!) I have also gotten to know the girls in my ward better. They have been really good friends to me, even when I have kind of been a loser and not hung out every weekend. Over choir tour I got to know the girls in my room too. One girl I bonded with a lot last week and I hope that we will be good friends. I can feel my life picking up the pace. I am so excited to graduate, and forget high school. I know that I have a lot more changing to do, and I know that whatever happens in my life I am going to be happy and okay. I used to be the girl who could trust anyone and be friends with anyone I was outgoing and funny, I want to be that girl again, but I know that I never can be all those things. I have learned so much that has helped me to grow up. I don’t want to lose what I have learned, but I am also working on trying to have fun, relax more, and be more trusting! The most important thing I think I have learned all year is that everyone is going through something, just because they look okay on the outside doesn’t always mean that they truly are. I used to think that people were always judging me, expecting me to be this person, and if I wasn’t they wouldn’t want to be around me. I learned that if they don’t want to stick around they really aren’t true friends. I also learned that most people are too busy trying to live up to what they think everyone expects of them, to even notice what you are doing! My advice? Just try to be what you want to be. Don’t try living up to other people’s expectations. If they can’t take you as you are, that is their problem! So I guess I have learned a little bit… ;)
