Crawling Toward the Sun

Tomorrow morning will be a big morning.

I get to open the letter that I wrote to myself on May 17, 2011. The letter that signed and sealed the deal that I wouldn’t date for a year.

And I’ve stuck to that.

Not that guys have been flinging themselves at me (ha!), but the year-long journey didn’t transpire without a few bumps along the road.

Regardless, it’s still going to be so surreal seeing the words that were floating around in my head a year ago. To see how I’ve grown and overcome.

After spending 8 hours in The Colonnade office, I’m heading home to spend this Valentine’s Day with my roommates, the Biology book and Jesus.

Loneliness.

It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be.

I know I shouldn’t feel this way, because I’m never truly alone. Of that I am sure. It’s just infuriating knowing that yes, there is an all too easy remedy for this, but I refuse to give in. Because I deserve more than easy. God is waiting to give me the best.

With that said, if you’d like to distract me from my journalistic endeavors this evening, feel free to drop me a line here!
