Everyone knows how hard the past 2 weeks have been on me. But I want to thank everyone who has been by my side supporting me. I especially want to thank Bailey, Katie, Tegen, Kari, Emily, Jess and especially my Mom for lifting me up and not letting me fall. I also want to thank the rest of my family, friends, and co-workers who have sent messages of support and advice. Though it doesn't make everything all better, it makes me feel loved. It makes me feel like I did make the right choice to go and live my dream. Of course it also makes me miss home and sad that I can't run up and give you all a big hug! Most of you know that Mitch wasn't supportive of my dream at all. He was letting go because it wasn't his place to tell me no, but he made me feel guilty and horrible for leaving. It's a lot easier being in Italy and not having that weigh me down. It's a lot easier being here knowing that I finally have the full support system I need. Mom sent me an e-mail and there's a quote in it that I've heard before but it really hits home now. Especially one specific phrase...
Life is too short to wake up with regrets...So
love the people who treat you right... Forget about the
Ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a
Reason. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life
would be easy, they just promised it would be
worth it.

Thanks again everyone for being here for me. I love you all.
Sometimes letting go is the hardest thing to do. No one controls our feelings; we are in charge of them. Others can influence them, but in the end, we are the ones who decide if we are happy or not. Much love on your journey of self-discovery!!
ReplyDeleteThe quote your mom posted is incredibly wise. It's just been in the past few years that I, myself, have been living by those words. It has brought me more peace than I could have ever imagined. It HAS changed my life and will change yours, as well. Having such loyal friends and loving parents is huge and they can get you through ANYTHING. Much love to you, Katie. You are on the right path, my dear! :)
