the first half of my day was spent picking apart my life piece by piece, remembering all the joys and sorrows of the last year, and placing the remnants in boxes to be moved. i have five more days at apt #4.
this year has been quite full- in the most lovely of ways. i could never have imagined how fantastic this last year was going to be for me. and now, as i begin to pack up my life and prepare to embark upon another move, sure to bring about many more wonderful experiences, i find myself sitting in silence, inspecting random objects that represent so much of what i have gone through this last year . . . and i feel terribly blessed.
my beautiful roommate, kate, and i have formed a much deeper friendship than i could have ever expected. learning and growing has been the order for both of us this last year; bridging the gaps of the beautiful differences between us, and learning to appreciate each other even more so because of them. kate, i will miss you most of all. and no, this is not the end, but a beginning to a new chapter of our sisterhood. i have been, am now, and will forever be blessed by having you in my life. you are beyond words to me.
i have met so many wonderful people in this last year; friends more sublime than i could have ever chosen for myself. to everyone i whom i have met in this last year, thank you for allowing me to experience the glory that is you. each and every one of you has changed me and i am a better person for it. i am thankful for you all more than i could ever express.
indeed, the joys and the heartaches of this last year have overlapped so much that they are completely melded together within my mind and heart in such a way that i could never entertain the thought of changing a thing.
and here i sit, in the midsts of boxes and empty walls, and i am quite certain that there is no more thankful person in the world right now than i.
