"24"

I'ts funny, when I was a kid and anybody would ask me what the perfect age would be for me in this lifetime i would always pick the number 24. At the time, if asked I could have never given a reasonable response as to why 24 stood out among all the other years. Even funnier, until just recently I still couldn't have done it. I'm just now beginning to realize why 24 is such a historic number in my life. This year has been quite the ride. It started off with an incredible Christmas romance I wouldn't take back for the world. I really broke out of my shell for the first time in years. I took chances I would have never made and I pursued things that I never before had the guts or the stamina to pursue. Since the holiday season things have only gotten better. Spring semester of school was great. Sure I went a little limp after spring break but heck, who doesn't. I finished strong regardless. Also, the unthinkable happened. I received a scholarship off that came out of thin air; It's a blessing that will allow me to pursue a new academic career at a school I never thought I'd be able to attend. I've recently met an incredible girl I can only hope will be someone I can see myself with in the long run. I'm letting go of things that hurt me so deeply in the past and moving forward at such an alarming rate, sometimes I have to close my eyes and step back from it to take it all in. Blessing are overflowing and God has been so good to me in this season! All seasons really. I can't wait to see what he does next. 24 is my year!
