Saw this picture on Facebook.
Do you know what this means? It's been a year. A year ago I didn't think I could make it through a year. A year ago I didn't think I'd be where I am now. A year ago I didn't know how things could ever change.
One year and six months ago I met a boy. We did not have the perfect relationship but I have never loved anyone so much. We dated for almost seven months. I sent him on his mission with the promise that I would not wait for him.
I didn't, I haven't, I'm not.
In the time since then I spent three months missing him beyond what I thought I could, three months getting over him, three months seeing what the world had to offer, and three months falling for two other boys.
This post has less to do with Alex and more to do with the fact that one year can change so much.
I thought I'd be on a study abroad right now. I figured I'd be closer to graduating. I thought I'd have a lot more friends than I do. And I thought I'd still be head over heels for this boy.
None of those plans are how it really is today.
Everything is different. Even I'm different!
Life never follows my plans and sometimes I don't know why I even bother making them. But that's okay. I like the way things have turned out for me. :)
