That's a Wrap! (At Least for This Project)

Final post for this assignment! After this I will have successfully completed my first project for english 120! Yay me!

Today was kind of a crazy day but also a day where I realized how much stronger of a person I have become. For some reason, I am not always dealt the best of cards but I have always been determined to win the jackpot anyway! I don't believe is letting things pull you back because when you triumph and look at all you went through to get there, it feels so incredible. I am a true believe that everything happens for a reason. Some of the things that have happened recently haven't been the easiest to handle or see how they can turn into something positive. That being said, the best thing that has come out of things that happened in the fall is the fact that it brought my suit mates and me closer than ever (which I kind of mentioned in my last post). But something else that I have found is that everything has made me way stronger and stand up for myself and what I want in life. I am finally fed up with putting everyone else in this world before myself. I am honestly really proud of myself for finally realizing this all.

If you personally knew me this all would make a lot more sense (and does for those who do and are reading this). Sadly there's this thing called the internet where it is not always the best to share every detail. It is kind of nice having this to generically share my thoughts however.

Back to the point.

Today and last night, I finally stood up for myself, boy did it feel good. I have learned that 'no' is a word I have in my vocabulary and I can actually use it (against other people than just my parents). I also put my foot down and decided that I am done letting people make me feel scared. It is my life, I work hard, and I deserve to live it the way I want to live it. I have learned so much and grown so much the last couple of months. I never thought somethings would happen to me but they did. And being states away from my family, I had to deal with it myself. Thankfully I have made a really supportive community for myself here so I really didn't have to do it completely alone. And that is another thing that I have learned; it is ok to rely on those close to you and who care about you. I never used to think it was ok to ask for help, I thought it made me seem weak. I know I am a strong person, but now I am so much stronger when I also have the strength of those around me.

My last thought that I want to leave you with tonight is that, always remember there is something great right around the corner, even if it is hard to see now, it is just hiding, waiting for the perfect time to pop out and surprise you!
