I know most of you who read my blog are wondering … “Offically set, offically set in what? What do you mean?” … Well to clear up any confusion I am offically set in knowing my ways, knowing what I want most, and knowing how to be happy within myself!

I couldn’t be more thankful for the things I have and the situations I’ve been placed in this last year. I have learned and grown more in this year than I feel like I have my entire life. My mom has been such a big part of my life but now I feel like I truly apprecaite her, not that I didn’t before but lately it’s been different between us- in a good way. She came to my doctors appointment yesterday to comfort me while I had something done I’ve never had to do – she didn’t have to do that, but she did. What a great mom

My family and I in general are also doing really well! Although I don’t see my older brother often we’ve always have been close, my little brother and I have also been close but do share differences and get in each others hair here and there when it comes to the xbox (haha… petty). My dad and I have also started our own little thing that keeps us doing something at least once a week. We started to watch a show every Sunday called Once Upon a Time that we can’t get enough of! I usually don’t like to get caught up in shows or obligations to be consumed by the TV but I had to make an acception- and the fact that my dad and I get to hang out My mom and I, like I said- I feel like we’ve never been closer. I love her and I strive to be more like her.

My friends, AHHH! What can I say about them? I LOVE THEM. I have met the most beautiful and perfect group of friends a girl could ask for. Of course I have friends here and there that I would do anyhting for but this group and I hang out all the time and have a great relationship! I love, love, love them and couldn’t be happier being their friend! I strive to be a better friend and a more conscientious friend. I keep to myself and I don’t always trust friends but I know with time these ladies will show me the good side of opening up and trusting!

Jake and I have also been doing very well… In my opinion. From what I was doing before to what I’m doing now – the reactions I have and the positivity I’ve been producing I feel like I’ve really made a difference in how Jake views me/is going to view me eventually. I was bringing him down so much and not just him but myself that it was becoming unhealthy. Although bad things happened right when we faced our biggest challenege in our relationship – long distance, that’s no excuse to be unhappy, to bring someone down, to lose something WORTH fighting for. Can’t believe it took me so long to realize it. BUT I have and will forever remember it <3 xoxo

I'm not entirely sure what changed in my attitude but I couldn't be happier, more confident, and more satisfied in my life. I'm very content but hungry for more hobbies - more experiences - more positivity and more life to live! Time to move forward, not backwards.
