Just a Quote

So don't be afriad to make mistakes, stumble and fall, because most of the time, the greatest rewards comes from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe, you will get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you could have ever imagined, who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination. -from OTH

Being completely alone for a whole summer gets a person to go crazy and do a lot of thinking. I think a lot about where I'm at in my life right now. I think about the past and the future. There are things in my past that I wish I would have or could have done differently, but do I regret that? No! All of those things have formed me into the person I am today. All the choices I have made ultimately lead me to where I am. Sometimes, I am completely confused as to what I am doing in South Carolina and why I took myself out of my comfort zone and away from my friends. I don't really know why God brought me to this place or for what purpose (He sure is giving me a lot of time to think about it). There are days I miss my friends like crazy and would in an instant leave here, the only thing holding me back is the fact I need to and want to finish school.

I remember first coming here and after my family dropped me off and left I cried. I didn't do that when they dropped me off at my first college for the first time, I was so ready to be independent, not that I wasn't this time either. I was afriad I was making a mistake. I was afraid that people in my life would just move on without me and forget me. I was afraid of not being able to make friends here. I wanted to leave just as soon as I got here. Thanks to One Tree Hill this quote made me realize how many risks you have to take in life. Sometimes you will fail and you can't just lay there in the dirt if you want to succeed. You have to get up dust yourself off and try again. I'm still afraid of life and whats in store for me. But if I go with God I will go confidently on down the road.
