100

This is my 100th post.

Looking back just a few months to when I started this blog, I realize how much has really happened. I knew I was going to be moving and starting a new life but I never thought that all that has happened so far was what was in store for me.
When it all came down to it, I thought I would just end up in another meaningless job to make money with and that I would spend another year of life feeling bad for myself for not doing things that I enjoy, for continuing to not do the things that have always made me happy.
But I wake up now and I go to a job that I really love. Everyday I learn something new, things I never thought I would be doing, I am. I work at a cat hospital and am in an environment I only ever saw my sister in. It's weird to think that my mother wanted us all to be veterinarians when we were growing up and while we all went in different directions and chose not to pursue such a difficult study, we are all ending up close to it. I love my job. When people ask me what I do, I feel confidant in answering them, unlike I felt when I would respond with, "I work in a Deli." Which was fun, but I am not a lifer at Giant Eagle.
I am also working on some art projects. Living with Ty has been amazing in all aspects, but most of all, he inspires me. He pushes me to do the things I love and supports me in the field we both love. I am so happy to be with someone that I can watch weird movies with, read in bed with and work on art together with. It's so comforting and I finally feel, Home.

I know I have had a good life. I have dealt with a lot, and sometimes on my own, but even through all that, the best is what shines through. I am glad I had parents who, even if they were hesitant, allowed me and my siblings to do the things we wanted, the things we loved. There have been a lot of hard times, and I am sure there will be more, but I am glad I have the people in my life now that have stuck by me. I am glad I have a Prince Charming that I always wanted and never thought I could have. I have a kitten who is super adorable and an apartment that I feel much more confidant about now that I have a job that will provide me with more than just money to pay the bills with.

Tyler was just reflecting on last summer, laying in hammocks pondering IS, worthless retail jobs and when he would see me again. How if he could have imagined this, our life now, then... Well. We couldn't of. But this is what we have. I wouldn't trade anything, any of the experiences, not even the bad ones. They all got me to this point. I'm here now, and for once I do not wish for anything else.
