As you guys can see, the blog has a new layout, and I couldn't be happier with it. A big hug and kiss to Miss Kelly Ann for making it a reality. As I hurry off on this train to my last day of school, I have a million thoughts running around in my head. Mostly about how far I've come. It's always extremely uplifting to reflect on situations that changed us, for the better.
A year ago I can honestly say I was a different person. Not necessarily in a bad way, but just different. This blog has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I know that sounds silly to say out loud, but for me it's true. Not only has my confidence sky rocketed throughout this whole putting-myself-out-there-thing, but I know now how important it is to connect with people, and share your life experiences.
If I have learned anything it's that I really love being able to connect with other people. I like knowing that there's people out there who understand what I'm going through, or vice versa. There is nothing more beautiful than being able to get on the same level as someone else and just say, "I get it." And after all, that's what makes us human, isn't it? It's not about having this perfect blog life where outfits glimmer in the sunlight. Sure it might be some of that, but I try and keep my feet on the ground during the blogging process. Sometimes it's just nice to know you can touch people with words, and that can make you feel less lonely, and more understood.
I really feel like my life became all sorts of special. I have more of a reason now to capture all of the little things, and holding onto those memories has been a huge way for me to document all of this. Maybe I'm just having a sensitive day because school is finally over and it's hitting me like a ton of bricks, or maybe I just feel the need to comfort myself during this time of change. Either way, I am so thankful for this year. I am thankful for everyone who has been along for this little piece of my life.
Here's to the last day of school, and the new days to come from here on out.

Lovely photos, and your new blog layout looks marvelous! Congratulations on your last day of school! I haven't been blogging nearly as long as you have, but I feel the exact same way... I feel like my world is brighter, and I can appreciate the beauty in everyday life more, and like I've been given a really amazing gift, as silly as that sounds.

how strange, that sharing a bit of ourselves with total strangers turned out to be the exact thing we needed... just to know that I'm not the only one with these feelings and experiences makes all the difference! My favourite part is making new friends who share the same interests as me. I love your blog, it's so refreshing <3
