.realizations.

I just talking about all the friends I have here, and all the people that I would introduce to anyone that would come and visit me. And it hit me....

SO SO SO much has changed about my Taylor life since January. When I finally stopped doing my own thing which just resulted in my banging my head up against a wall, when I let God take control and trust that he knows what he's doing, and when i decided to not be scared of new situations, there's just so much more peace about life in general.

Since that day, approximately 3 1/2 months ago, I have made some of the best friendships I think I will ever have. Not to say that there aren't people I was close to before that aren't still amazing. But if I just listed people that have been good friends for me this year, a good majority of them, I met during j-term.

As hard as it was to realize that I had screwed up, that realization is what enabled me to live my life unfettered and in peace and to find those relationships that I had been searching for so much before.

Thank God for lessons well-learned, and for the blessing of friends who care and are just all-around awesome ;)
