8 Months Ago: I can't believe that I have lived in LA for eight months now, it seems like yesterday I was opening my apartment door and meeting complete strangers. A lot has changed since I first moved here in January, at first people would tell me I was so nice and everyone could tell that I wasn't from LA.. I haven't heard that in a while. haha. People have came into my life but more people have left, I gave up a few things that were negative in my life and it has truly made me stronger.
Being Independent: When I said I was going to move to Los Angeles and leave everything back in Kentucky that brought me down, I meant it. Leaving behind my high school boyfriend was surprisingly the easiest thing I have done, it was the right time and the right move for me to be independent here. I have learned how to rely on myself and only myself. Now, eight months being single and I am stronger than ever. In high school I was the girl that always needed someone to be with and now I am at a place in my life where I don't even want to date until I am 100 percent comfortable with me. Home: Most people told me before I moved that I would probably be back, but I have a home here with a true bestfriend and go to the best school in the world. It's hard to take in how much god has given me, I am so blessed and grateful. This is where I am meant to be, I feel like for the first time I am home. I miss my family every day, but being here couldn't feel better. It's weird that when I go home I feel like I am on vacation now, sorry mom haha. I am settled in with a part-time job in my third quarter at FIDM and I am completely happy. I have spent the last eight months learning who I am and making changes to make myself better. I have learned when to cut someone from my life and when to let people in. I am only 19 and know that I have a lot to learn in the future but for now I am happy with what I know and who I know.

but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
