anew.

changing changing changing. churning churning churning.
its been a while since i've wrote here. and things are definitely changing. in 42 days i move to denton, start art school, and a new life. as well, my love for traveling has come back. but that'll be a new post. things have been looking up, getting better, and the bad is leaving. here's a list:

•  i went into this summer with a bunch of indifferent friendships from high school. now i leave with a new traveling tribe, friends all over the united states, and the ones that already meant the most to me.

•  i'm excited for school to start. though i haven't worked on my art much, i'm ready to be in an environment with more people like me. orientation gave me a taste, but its about time i drive head first. plus, i'm ready to be in denton, making a life for myself, and growing up!
• relationships are ending and thats always a bummer, but i have faith that its what is best. some times God gives us people just to learn and after a while its time to move on. 
• my faith in God is stronger than ever. after being able to really focus on him and see his greatness, my eyes have been opened. If it wasn't for God i would've never been able to go to Cornerstone this year. Plus, just hearing wonderful traveling stories about people putting all their trust in him, blows my mind. its awesome to see God's work. 
• family, family, family. everyone is growing up and moving out. including me. in 32 days my beautiful sister will be getting married and starting her own life away from home. the  best thing? she's moving 10 minutes away from my new home. its amazing to see that though we are getting older and having to grow up, we're still staying together. we fight a lot and have our falling outs, but she's still my sister and i love her with all my heart. 

• this lovely blog. i'm gonna try to keep it more up to date and actually post on it at least once a week. as well, i'm changing the name and my focus for it. now it'll be all about my journey through life and my journey in the world as a traveler. for a while this blog was all about starting something new and finding out what i'm going to do with my life. now that i've found home in myself and started figuring things out, its time to close my very first chapter and start anew.
