Purpose

A good friend once told me that each person that enters your life serves a specific purpose, whether you notice it or not. No matter how long they're there, or whether the purpose is large or small, doesn't matter.. people enter for a reason.

We connect with others everyday. It's those connections that last more then a couple of minutes that truly matter. The ones that leave you thinking. The ones that deepen relationships. Those connections, they serve major purposes. They transform you. For me, they turned me into a listener. I owe as much credit to the people on the other side of these conversations then I do to those who shaped me. I wish I could thank each and every person I've met since I got here three months ago, my incredibly strong roommate who can get through anything, my teammate and new best friend, even the boy I fell hard for. Their purposes will never gone unnoticed.

Regrets

We were on top of the world. We were perfect, not to the world- certainly not, but to one another. We never tried, we just were.

We lived at a different pace then everyone else. Fast and then very very slow. We would freeze in moments for long hours, and suddenly the day was over. Then in the blink of an eye, we were over. You can argue it was only two months and what we had wasn't quite love yet. It's the days we took for granted that I regret. Not knowing how great we had it, free and careless. The times before life got in the way. No matter what we were doing, it was special. And we were perfect.

Sometimes, when you're stressed or upset, the best way to cope is to completely allow yourself to feel those emotions. Having a bad day is nothing to be ashamed of.

What My Heart Says, Goes.

I ask myself every day: Is it worth it? Every time, the answer is yes. The doubts flutter out of my mind with little hesitation, because it's worth more then anything when I really think about it. My friends hardly understand, and sometimes I struggle to see it myself. But it's there, whether I like it or not and there's very little I can do to change that.
