Ten Things I Love About Life
One: That my dad has given me a new level of respect and independence that is utterly shocking. He also seems to trust Bianca to make her decisions now, too, which is also earth shattering.
Two: That my dad is far less stressed about life in general and might even be – dare I say it – happy.
Three: Bianca has blossomed into a responsible adult and is in a mature, loving relationship. What more could I want for my little sister?
Four: My own relationship seems to be blossoming.
Five: I'm in love.
Six: When I told Patrick I was in love he didn't run away like a big scared-y man.
Seven: Patrick loves me back. Not only does he tell me, but his actions speak volumes as well.
Eight: He's coming to visit again this weekend.
Nine: This is the happiest I've ever been.
Ten: I'm at a school I love, studying subjects I love, with other people who love to learn, and this is just the start of it all.
Dear journal, I am thankful for what's been, and hopeful for what's ahead. Now I just gotta get this goofy grin off my face and head to class. Promise I won't write about Patrick for at least another four days, lest I sound like overexcited teenage girl with an unhealthy obsession with a half dressed celebrity. (Who am I kidding?!)
