It's greener on the other side because it's already been watered and weathered. It's already had its fair share of tests of strength. After the storm though, springs new life. The sun that always comes out in the end will cause new sprouts of hope and courage.
As the end of my final semester at Weber comes to a close, I hope that summer will be fun and eventful. I still need to find an apartment to live in when I go to BYU, transfer my Institute credits (I know, right? I was pleasantly surprised that they would take those credits!), do well on my finals this next week, and eventually find a job down there, I will be set to move out in August.
There are so many things for me to look to, but what I'm struggling with is finding 'joy in the journey of life now.' For now, I feel stuck in a corner. I've essentially crawled back into my little shy shell, unsure of how to make new friends. It is discouraging considering I'll need that skill back this fall, but for now I have become a homebody. I think this may have come from knowing that I will move out, that I will miss my family. I will miss talking to my dad after reading scriptures or on Saturday afternoons. I will miss my little brother who has become my best friend in the past few weeks. I will also miss my little sister who is so honest and open, and sharing her fun stories from hanging out with her friends.
I guess I could say this is the time to prepare myself to finally be out on my own. Like a caterpillar I must slowly wrap myself in a comfortable cocoon before I get to break free and fly.
