Welcome to my Life.

It's crazy to think that the first time I made an attempt to become a blogger was nearly three years ago this month. To say that these past few years have flown by would be an absolute understatement. I am literally losing track of time, and considering the fact that I'm in my sophomore year of college, I should probably get a hold of that here soon. Even more than that though is the amount of change that has happened in my life. I've essentially been forced to grow up in ways that most people my age don't have to experience, and I'm so grateful for that. It's made me eager to begin my life as an independent, young adult; as someone who gets to create exactly what I hope for my future to look like. That's what I most look forward to. Constructing my family, my life, my home and my faith from something built off a foundation of what I believe in, not what I have lived among for so many years. Freedom is a lesson I've been learning for quite a long time now. I'm coming to understand that I'm not bound by a single thing here on this earth. My sole purpose in this life is to love God and love others and as long as I'm doing that, I believe that I have the freedom to make my own decisions in accordance to the ways I feel the Holy Spirit moving in my heart. That's an incredibly beautiful thing to understand. I believe that the most beautiful things arise from what once was broken. Therefore, I am hopeful for the adventures that are to come in my lifetime. As cliche as it is, I've made a promise to myself to live my life to the fullest. To embrace the greatest opportunities placed in my path and enjoy every second of every minute that I'm given. This life isn't meant to be watched callously from the sidelines; it's meant to be taken in stride with a joyful spirit. Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
