Lessons Learned; Part Uno

over the past several months i feel like i have learned a lot about me and the relationships i have with the people around me. i feel like i have grown a lot over these past several months. 

coming upon my birthday, i guess it is only natural for me to reflect back on the last year. 

i have seen many changes including moving to nashville and several career changes. finally found a job i love. and a little friend named michael. 

i have also seen some of my relationships for what they are. people close to me only needing me for things... and rarely needing me for, well me. i feel i have a lot to offer those relationships. and it has hurt realizing that, but i must take that knowledge and try to make it the best i can. i can be me. and i am starting to finally see that being me is ok. i may not feel "real" love from those people but that is all in learning where my real love does come from. Him and of course a 7 year old child that adores me... i think he really sees me for me. i love the innocent heart of a child that can love just for the sake of loving. 

and there is much more... but it just so happens to be time for me to get ready. but you can expect the second half on a later day... that just so happens to be my birthday. 

have a great day!
