Moving to Seattle and going to UW has been a huge transition for me, but little by little, I'm finding the little gold nuggets in everything you know? I'm making new friends, and some I can tell are gonna be life long for sure; I'm learning a ton, especially about my own heritage, which until yesterday....I didn't know the first thing about. I'm now pretty independent, there's no more pulling on my momma's skirt to come with me here and do this, and buy me this. And the best thing of all is all the diversity around here! I've never seen more different people in my life! Growing up in Selah, all there was....well you probably already know. And there's nothing wrong with that, I'm just happy to finally be getting cultivated.
Tonight I went to my first Sisterhood meeting and my first BSU meeting and I loved them both! It feels great to know that I have a place I can go and be a part of something and have an extra family that I can talk to and have fun with. So far, the UW is a great place, my only wish is that I could fall asleep before 1 am:)
Lately I've been very excited because I'm supposed to be going home this Friday. Bus, train, car or plane, I'm comin and nothing's gonna stop me. I can't wait to visit with all my family and friends, I know for sure that it'll be a blast.
In the past couple days, I've learned a few things-You can't dwell on things that happened in the past; When you stand up for what you believe in, you feel good; Be open to everyone's ideas; You are too blessed to be stressed and most of all, Live! Life is so full of great things and sometimes I think we all forget how lucky we are. Lucky to have a house, lucky to go to school, even lucky just to have family or friends. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our lives that we don't even realize everything that we have and all that we can gain. Shoot for the stars, do something that scares you, use your heart~you never know what'll happen.
