A Change Is Gonna Come

This past week has been something of a life-changer for me. Things have been so incredible lately. I'm living in a place that is so far removed from the everyday hustle of life and yet, I've felt more and more like a person that I used to be. A part of me that until recently was a void, has decided to bloom again -seemingly overnight. I feel so invigorated that I'm not sure the fibers of my being will be able to contain it.

How do you wake up and suddenly remember how good it feels to be alive? To have your heart race at a glance and a half smile. I'm remembering that it's okay for me not to be the coolest kid on the block. That I can  say something cheesy without having to apologize or feel self-conscious. Sometimes, people are put into your life to help you see the light of day again. Not that I was wallowing in depression, more like I didn't feel anything. Just a good reminder that I want to be a better person and that there are amazing people to help you when sometimes you didn't even realize that you were still broken.

  2. So... I love your blog, maybe just because I think you're awesome. I'm so glad you're loving where you are, and whatever/whoever helped you feel like yourself again, I'm so happy to hear it!

  3. Love you, buddy!! I'm so glad you're having that experience although I've found myself being envious more than once. I might have to talk to my bishop about it tomorrow.
