It's May 12, 2014.
My freshman year in college is done tomorrow.
I go home Friday for summer break.
I've made mistakes.
I've made memories.
I've met the best friends I could ever ask for.
My friends from home came up over the weekend.
I didn't quite realize how much I had changed until they came up.
I used to be this girl who was held back.
Someone who didn't know how to be okay with who I am.
Since I have come to college, I'm still the same person.
I still hold back, but only when it's necassary to.
And I still sometimes am not okay with who I am.
But since coming here, I found a second home.
I used to be this girl that was timid, in ways.
I've grown into this 19 year old woman, who is no longer afraid.
Despite my faults, and loss of friends:
I love who I am, who I'm around, and where I am for once in my life.
