the best time of my life.....seriously

i don't want to make it sound like my life has been miserable because it hasn't. there have been some great times and there have been some bad times but overall my life hasn't been too bad. i have to say though, i am living in the best part thus far.

i have great friends, a great church, and a healthy attitude about the future. in about 9 days i graduate college. a day i thought would never come (and many others probably thought wouldn't either). there is no job offer yet, no idea about where money will come from, and my living situation is up in there. yet i'm not stressed out about it. quite the opposite in fact.

the past year has been one of great pain and mystery. i had a horrible battle with a health issue and that made my entire life miserable at times. but a funny thing happened, in the worst of the pain some friends of mine helped me through it. now every week i find myself wanting to hang out with them more and more for the strangest reason. i actually feel safe. i feel safe to express who i am, what i feel, and where i feel God is leading me. i haven't opened up much about my past and i don't feel i need to. the people i hang out with don't care about where i've been in the negative, they just love me for who i am now and am slowly becoming.

in 2 weeks a chapter will close and new one will begin. i am uncertain but not scared. i have the best support system in my life than ever right now. my parents, my friends in va., and my friends here.

so much yet for me to explore and experience......
