Recently, it seems like the motif to my life is this notion of rebirth and renewal. Many things around me are ending, but are either being born again with more vigor and spirit than they ever had or they’re ending and bigger, better things are coming along.

I am in such a great place in my life right now. I love it.

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing last night was. Amidst the fury of recent summer Austin thunderstorms, two connections with great friends were made, making them that much more amazing. Maybe “connections” isn’t the right word. “Moments” is maybe too dramatic. They were definitely memories I will never forget. Hugging in the rain and talking in my car.

I have the greatest friends in the world. I am blessed with the best family ever; they put up with so much of my shit. I go to the greatest university in the world. I know what I want to learn about and I’m doing it (it’s hard as hell sometimes, but I’m doin’ it). I live in the greatest city ever; everyday I fall in love with it more and more. My faith is the brightest it’s ever been. My confidence is at its height. I am the most creative, risk-taking and motivated I’ve ever been. I’m just glad that slump is gone.

Please note, by no means was this post supposed to be boastful. I’m very excited about the place my life is at right now and I just felt the need to share.

I can’t wait for this semester to be officially over. I’m excited about summer.
