365 days of love.

a year ago this weekend i packed my belongs for the forth time in a year and moved home. this past year has been a whirl wind of events, a lot has taken place. from an outward appearance things look relatively the same, however, internally the amount of growth and self discovery this past year has held has been unbelievable.

i think the biggest lessons i have learned are about love.

i have learned what it means to love someone. not the kind of love that lasts for only a short period, but the kind that you walk through thick and thin for. the kind that has had hard conversations, conflicts, and honesty that doesn't always feel that nice. i think sometimes in order to really experience love for someone you need to walk through the low parts of life and in time come out soaring higher then you ever have before.

i have learned how to say good-bye to love. this is usually not an easy choice to make and it usually hurts like hell. but in time comes freedom, strength, and empowerment.

i have learned what it means to receive love. funny enough, everyone wants to be loved but it's usually the hardest one to learn. i am lucky to have family and friends who have poured out endless amounts of love on me. it's an overwhelming feeling to be so loved, but it's one that i have started to embrace with open arms.
