life is short. period.
"life is short, death is long, act accordingly"
& honestly, we hear that all the time. almost everyday. but just recently i'm starting to realize the meaning to it. things are changing. i'm starting to grow into my skin, finally. and yes, i have always been confident in myself and with who i am, but something huge is happening. i'm confident in every way possible.
i truly believe i am on top of the world and can do anything i desire. it's honestly the greatest feeling i have ever experienced. i am happy with who i am, and i am happy with the people in my life.
okay, i'm not trying to fool anyone. yes i have my bad days. where i feel like i could be a little better, or a little skinnier, or maybe even more kind, but that doesn't change that i am who i am. i love my imperfections. others opinions don't really matter to me anymore. sure sure we all say that we don't care what others think, but the truth is, deep down we all do. i can say that i truly don't. i am so proud of the person i am becoming.
i can only imagine what the future holds for me. i get so excited when i even think about it!
life is out there just waiting for me to grab hold of it.
i do have my fears of course. the biggest being losing those that are close to me. for example, in the past year i have lost touch with many friends that i thought would always be there. but this year is going to be the hardest. my best friend is moving in september. is he moving close you might ask? ehhh debatable. if out of the state is close to you. fact is, i will hardly get to see him. but don't get me wrong, i am so extremely excited for him to go out and start his life! my cousin is also leaving, but much sooner. in 48 days to be exact! he joined the marines and leaves for training camp on july 18. i'm dreading july 18 with everything in me. him and i are so close, but what he is doing is very honorable and i respect him so much.
but truly, i am sooo excited for my life. i have great things ahead of me, i just hafta remember to take full advantage of everything. because as bad as i hate it, things constantly change.
and all we have left are the memories.
