One day I'll catch up.

Believe it or not it's December. In fact, Christmas is on Sunday. I start college in a little less than 3 weeks. I am still shocked at how quickly time passes. I feel like my life has turned completely upside down, yet it is still exactly the same. I'm still living in the same house, the same city I have lived in the past 14 years of my life, but everything is different. Kaya turned 19 on Sunday, I got to talk to her for maybe 59 seconds. I miss her. I'm still waiting for it to seem like Christmas, maybe in a few days. One day i'll catch up.

my heart and mind speak different languages.


Do you know the feeling when..... You feel like you should do something but you have no idea why? or, you have tried something a million times because you want it so bad and keep failing? Well, I know both of those feelings quite well. Graduating from high school, I was so excited to go travel, go to college in a different state, nanny in a foreign country, go on a long trip....really anything, I was ready for a change. Every single thing that I tried either didn't work out or didn't feel quite right. For a long time I was really frustrated and thought I was doing something wrong. Why wasn't anything I tried working out? I wanted it so badly, I was working hard to make it happen, I kept on popping the question, why? I have always been told everything happens for a reason, and I accept it and know that it's true. Through this process, I have learned (maybe even mastered... okay, not quite) patience, a quality I was immensely lacking. I still don't know or understand why I am suppose to be here in Provo Utah, but I know it's where I am suppose to be at this time. Who knows if I will ever find out why I am here, but I am going to keep a positive attitude and remember I can find happiness anywhere I go.
