July 7, 2019. The Sunday after my graduation party. It’s real. I’m done with high school and that portion of my life, on to preparing for the next. There are things I’m ABSOLUTELY going to miss about being a high schooler, but I have an even greater appreciation for all of my fond memories considering the exciting things in store for the future.
As for what’s going on in my life right now, and the state of mind I’m in, I’m the most confident I’ve been in years. I’m so confident with the way I live my life and I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by people who make me incredibly happy, assured in who I am, and supported in all of my endeavors. My life this year, my senior year, was and still is a series of moments that prove to me that everything happens for a reason. I’ve learned that people are placed in your life at specific times for specific reasons. I’ve learned that nothing can be forced, and that whatever’s supposed to happen, is going to happen. And accepting and embracing that will make you a much happier version of yourself. I’ve learned that with newfound maturity, and getting older, comes joys that I never would have expected. My younger brother who I fought with constantly for years became one of my best friends. And despite the fact that I legally entered adulthood, I found myself embracing the fun associated with childhood more than ever alongside my youngest brother. Specific to the college application process that many find themselves engulfed in senior year, I learned that even in the moments of being extremely annoyed with your parents, never let your emotions get the best of you because in the end you’ll be grateful for the constant hounding to write essays and fill out papers. I was reminded that even if your not 100% sure of what you want the next step in your life to be, if you follow what feels right, it’ll figure itself out. I’ve learned that if you care about a friendship, you must put in the work to strengthen it, but you also must keep in mind that great things take time, and you’ll find the right people when you’re supposed to. Overall, my senior year was for sure one of the greatest years of my life thus far. There were plenty of occasions where I felt overwhelming senses of happiness, gratefulness, and pride, all because of the people I was with and the new things I got to experience. I constantly found myself realizing that the memories I was making this year, were the ones I would remember forever. In regards to the future, I’m excited to be living somewhere new, to be going to college, and to be studying something I love. I’m looking forward to seeing how my current relationships evolve and I’m excited to get to know the whole new crop of people about to enter my life. I’m also excited for my future travels! ;) There is nothing quite like the feeling I have right now, since I have a world of opportunity at my fingertips, and plenty of support to dive right in. I’m beyond grateful, and can only hope that everyone else gets to experience this at some point in life. If you’re not there now, give it time, because if you were to ask me one year ago what I expected for my future, it definitely would not have been this! The universe works in miraculous ways so stay positive and try to embrace it all. Thank you for reading, and if you’re a returning reader thank you for sticking around. As for the future of this blog, I’m not actually sure what’s going to happen… My thoughts right now are that this is going to be a place where I share some of my writing about life and adventures for my family, friends, and anyone else who cares to read it. Plus this blog has provided me with a little bit of extra motivation to write for fun, which has always been a love of mine, but has become harder over the course of time. I’ll update anyone interested through instagram (@p.s.lifehappens) of new blog posts. If you’d like my to alert you of new posts by email, please shoot me a quick email at [email protected]. Thanks again! P.S. Life Happens :)
