Clearing
When I made my first post, I was an undergraduate with an undecided major. I had no clue what I was going to be. Painfully shy and awkward, hair all over the place -- Notebooks full of doodles and countless OCs, a head full of poetry and a yearning to share music I played while I hid in the safety of the chapel in the woods. I wanted to give glory to the Lord so bad, but I didn’t know quite how to do it. The doubt of ever finding a major, the anxiety from all of the deadlines and assignments I was sure I was going to fail, the fears of never graduating and never belonging -- It’s weird. I never thought I would one day wake up on the other side of those fears and challenges, yet here I am. Despite all of those things, and every voice that said that I’d never make it (including my own), a month and two days ago, I walked across the stage and got a master’s degree from the school of my dreams. Praise God. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without Him and every single person He put in my life to teach me, pray for me, and be a friend to me. I have the privilege now to look at all of the things I wrote here and re-celebrate all of the victories I wrote about. To look again at all of the laments and prayers and see how God fixed everything. To look at everything I created and fully appreciate the beauty of the season I was in as the person I am today. But... I think it’s time I pack up here. I believe this tumblr served the purpose it was meant to serve. To all the friends who followed me and responded and reblogged from me, thank you. ^_^ Please... if you’re a mutual and you would like to continue talking, please shoot me a message and let me know what other platforms you use. I would love to exchange contact information, if you want to.
