Looking Back

If we stop and look back on our lives we can trace back through all of the decisions we made that got us to where we currently are. Now that my first semester of college has gone by faster than a runaway train it has left me thinking about where the time has gone.

How did I get to be here?

I think as we are living life we don't realize what is happening to ourselves. But then when we grow a little older and get a little taller we are able to finally look back and see everything that happened, and then we realize all that we learned.

And we also smile because we recognize that we are better people than before.

Each day is filled with something new, some other life lesson that we might not realize is changing us until after it is all said and done.

My first semester of college. Now that it has come to a close I can at last look back and see.

Let's be perfectly honest with each other now.. I struggled a lot. I'm not gonna lie. It was hard. A friend of mine pointed out to me that I am afraid of change, and he is quite right.

We all are in some degree or another - agreed?

But it is good to struggle. That's the only way to grow.

 People do say that a lot but as sure as the day is long it's true!

Life changes and so do our situations, we just have to learn to adjust to those changes and make the most out of it. We gotta learn to have faith that it will work out.

That is what I learned this semester. I also realized that everybody else is going through the same darn thing. Who knew, right?

Life is gonna get real good people, just you wait. And this isn't even the beginnin'!
