Growing Up and Being Me

I was just looking through my facebook page and found some posts from 2008. So much has happened, changed and gone on in my life since then. NEVER in my life did I think I would be where I am today. I think of who I used to be and how much Lethbridge and the people around have changed me. I have met so many people and haven't thought twice about them. Other people - ones I thought I would be able to count on through ANYTHING have faded out without even a passing glance while others have completely taken me by surprise by hanging around and waiting for me to come to them. I am a very lucky girl and I know that. I have the best support system anyone could ask for and because of this, I am blessed.

It seems everyone around me is getting married and having kids. This is the new norm of our generation. For me, I am learning to let go of a 4 year relationship that has clearly been dragging on way too long. I am figuring out how to stand on my own 2 feet and be happy without the visions of white dresses and the "glow". I honestly don't even know what I am doing tomorrow let alone being able to settle down and grow up SO fast.

All I know forsure, is behind the fear of the unknown, I know living in Uganda for 3 months will change me yet again. This trip could not of come at a better time for me simply because it gives me the opportunity to grow up in my own way and on my own time and learn more about myself. I want to see the world and show those that love me and care for me what I really can do.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to play Jesus or even be better than the next guy on the street... I just don't ever want to stop growing and learning.
