It's been almost exactly a year since I've blogged and I feel like I'm back in the same place I was then but so much has happened since. I've lost a grandparent; made a life changing decision to move home, change careers and go back to school full time; fell in love, and got my heart broken by someone I thought was going to be my best friend. Despite all the loss and scariness I'm still happy. I've made some new friends; moved in with one of my best friends who inspires me with her kindness everyday; discovered that I absolutely love nutrition and can't wait to finish my degree; finally get to be a true LSU Tiger; and discovering all the new things about the city I love.
Last Friday I went out with my friends downtown. First we went to Tsunami, a great sushi restaurant on the top of the Shaw Center overlooking the river. It is absolutely gorgeous at night and the drinks and food were awesome. We had a great time and I'm so glad I still have some true friends in BR.
This spring I've truely missed my friends from Jackson and college, but it was time to do something for myself instead of holding back to be there for everyone else. The first few months were exciting with a new relationship and finally doing something I loved, and then the beginning of summer was hell losing someone I thought was my friend and loved me. But I've learned some lessons and things about myself. I am so much stronger than I ever dreamed I could be and as Carrie Bradshaw would say: "Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
