One Year

One year ago:

SS celebrated her birthday (and today too!)
I met WA and LJK for the very first time!
RC moved to NYC!

One year ago:

I quit my job as a nanny to live the wild life of a temp.
I lived in Harlem in a living situation that was literally evil.
I applied for jobs in South Dakota.

One year ago:

I wasn't sad, but I wasn't happy.
I didn't know where I should be, what I should be doing.
I wasn't alone, but I felt like I was.

And now, one year later:

I'm celebrating SS's birthday with my whole slew of a crew.
I have a full-time job that makes me feel like a whole person at the end of the day.
I'm happy, really happy, and exactly where I need to  be.

And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings. So much is changing around you but you are changing, too. You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
