This Is My Future

The End is Only a New Beginning
I began to hit delete on a few previous posts that I had made, but after deleting one I realized that I didn't want to. I am not ashamed of my past and I, no matter how hard I try, will never be able to make the past disappear. I am no longer engaged, but I will not hide it from the world anymore. There was a time where I did not want to tell people. Not because I was secretly hoping we could work things out, but rather because I felt that it was not anyone's business. I was in a relationship for five and a half years and engaged for two of those years. We split up shortly after our two year anniversary of being engaged. Things did not end badly, they simply just ended. Although he was the first to say he didn't want us anymore, I was in immediate agreement. He and I both had not been happy with how our relationship was going and it wasn't fair to "settle". If we went through with getting married we would have both been settling for things that we did not want. There is no hatred or resentment, we still respect each other and will try to be friends. We both, one-hundred percent, deserve someone who will make us happy and now we have that chance. It's sad that I was not the one who was able to make him happy, but that's okay. It doesn't mean I'm a bad person or that he's a bad person, it simply means that we were not right for each other. I have written the last page of my story with him and now it's time to start a new story by myself. The end is only a new beginning for me.

Where Has Time Gone?
I used to think that time went so slowly that everyday seemed to last forever. Now that I have gotten older I realize that time is the complete opposite. It goes by so fast. I have been in college for three years now, well almost three. I'm finishing up my Junior semester and will finally be a senior! How crazy is that! I feel like just yesterday I was a freshman just entering college for the first time. I'm actually sad that time is flying by. This semester has been the greatest yet, I have four classes that I love and that I'm doing extremely well in! I don't want them to end. I just filled out my end of the semester teacher evaluations and it's bittersweet. I am happy to be continuing on in my education, but there's a part of me that just wants to stay in this semester forever. But, unfortunately I know that time will not stop for anyone and I think I will be okay with that. I will continue on throughout my life and learn to live every minute because one day those minutes will be gone.

Not Everything Comes Naturally Anymore
Abstract and Discrete Mathematics...what in the world does that even mean? You would think I would have even the slightest clue seeing as how I am enrolled in that class, but I don't. It's over half way through my first semester of junior year in college and I am beginning to notice that not everything comes naturally to me like it did in previous classes and especially in high school. Math was always one of my strongest areas in school, but now I feel like I can't even grab one concept in this new math class. It's only going to get harder from here and I don't know what I'm going to do. Going to the teacher for help is like asking for the whole class lecture over again. If I didn't understand the lesson the first time, I'm not going to get it a second time, especially when you don't change the wording of your explanation. There would never be enough paper in this world to write how much this class frustrates me! I loved math and my whole life most everything in school has come very easily to me. I guess that's why I am so frustrated now, I never had to work hard for a good grade and now I have to fight tooth and claw for a "C", if I'm lucky.

Saying Goodbye
I've been old enough to say goodbye once before, but this time I feel that something's different. Every goodbye is the start of a new beginning. My new beginning will consist of a new home. A place to hang my hat and make new memories. I have mixed feeling about the move. I moved twice before, but the first time was at age 2 and the second at age 14. I was able to comprehend what moving was all about and although I was only moving three miles down the road I was thrilled to be in a new house! This time I'm 20 and I don't know what to feel. I feel like this home made a lot of memories for me. Some good. Some bad. My dog, Dakota, passed away in this house, but yet I met my fiancé while living in this house. It's all just so confusing. I don't have to worry about having to change schools or anything since I'm in college and I'm only moving 15 minutes away. It seems all hunky dory but I just don't know what I'm feeling at this moment. The realtor is about to show up at my house, literally she will be here in 4 minutes. The house will be listed and sold as soon as possible. Maybe that's why I am feeling this way. Maybe it's because I haven't had too much time to get used to the idea? Don't get me wrong i am excited to live in a new home, but I think I just need more time for it to sink in that I will not be coming back to this house that I live in now. Time heals all wounds.

A Night to Never Forget
As I stood in line waiting to buy tickets with Patrick, my now fiancé, I couldn't wait for the night to come. Senior Prom was just around the corner and I was determined for it to be the best night ever. The day approached and as I was sitting next to my best friend my dad called saying that he was going to get Patrick, my best friend, her boyfriend, and me a limo! I couldn't believe that he could find one such last minute, but at that point I didn't care, I couldn't wait! I left school early to get my hair and makeup done and as the time came for the limo to arrive, Patrick came over with his father to take pictures. The limo came and we were brought to the hotel. The night started off great! Patrick's mother, Aunt, and Mémère came to take pictures and we proceeded to get professional pictures taken. The night went by so quickly and although I was tired and couldn't wait to get my heels off and put on my comfy pajamas, I didn't want the night to end. But, like everything there has to be an ending. I got to go to prom with my best friend and boyfriend (at the time), what more could I ask for?!
Dreams Really Do Come True
In Disney World they say dreams come true. That is simple not reality. My dreams came true in my sophomore year of high school. 15 years old and wanting that one guy to come along and love me forever. Little did I know that March 28, 2009 would be the day that changed my life forever. Only three years later did I know that my dreams had come true when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I knew then that I had to have been the luckiest girl alive and still am.
