just a glimpse of my life

I'm 22. I love science and medicine. I'm a first year physical therapy student. I'm also an retired college athlete, who lived the dream playing college soccer. I was a part of a team that achieved the ultimate NCAA dream. I held the trophy above my head. I will forever be an NCAA national champion.

Be mindful of what you toss away, be careful of what you push away, and think hard before you walk away.

Where one thing falls, another grows. It may not be what was there before, but something new and wonderful all at the same time.

The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special, then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don’t care at all.

mass general hospital institute of health professions dpt class of 2015 :) so happy!!

yet i'm suddenly petrified to leave here, the place i've come to call home the past four years, with the 3 roommates who have become my family. it's crazy how that happens. you're scared to leave home/high school because you don't think things will ever be the same. and then you meet even more amazing people and have the time of your life in college. and then a time comes when that, too, ends. and now i'm so scared to move back "home" and leave everything behind here. sometimes i just wish i could pause time..and live at my own pace. however, i'm so thankful to have been accepted into one of the best physical therapy programs in the country! and i'm also excited for that journey to begin.

“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you’re making a mistake you can’t undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we hadn’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.”

We’ll never learn how to get up if we never fall. We’ll never learn how to move on if we never break down.

[couurtneyt]

No matter what, it’s always better to be honest and express your true feelings, instead of giving false, mixed signals.

[couurtneyt]

In order to move on, you must know why you felt the way you did, and why you no longer need to feel that way.

[couurtneyt]

If you are brave enough to say “goodbye”, life will reward you with a new “hello”.

I don’t understand how people can smile all day long and cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How your best friend can become your worst enemy or how strange it is when your worst enemy becomes your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months you would do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know something is best for you, it hurts the same. How the people who wanted to spend every second with you think a few seconds is too much to spare. How people make promises despite knowing how often promises are broken. How people can erase you from their lives, because it’s easier than working things out♥
