Crawling, Standing, Walking, Flying...

My life is good...
This summer has been very much so needed...
I am in a place within myself that is happy and healthy...
I am learning and living...
I am over what was and am embracing what will be...

I cannot express how much all of the above has helped me thus far. I think I was just fed up with happenings in Columbus and now that I've gotten a chance to step back from it all, I've finally been shown the bigger picture. Anyways, let's take a little detour to stuff that's been going on this summer. First and foremost, I went to New York and LOVED it! I mean who doesn't love that city? (except for my dad, psh) I'm making plans now to go back over Christmas break, and if anyone is interested, please, let me know because I don't know if I'd be able to fly alone. (scary) Also, I completed my Chick-fil-a tour of Georgia yesterday with my friend Kathryn. It was amazing! People were loving us! I felt a little like a celebrity and honestly, by the end of the day, I got kinda tired of people taking my picture all the time. Thank you so much Jonathan, India, and Dureyea for meeting us in Columbus! You made my whole day just to see you! ANNDD, plans for Tuesday (because today is Saturday) are that me and a couple of my friends from work are planning on going to some springs and floating down ice cold rivers. I mean, what could get better than that, right?! I'm going to Columbus Thursday. I cannot wait. I miss people like absolute craziness. I love my friends here, but here I'm crazy Sam who sings all the time and is REALLY FRICKIN' unique. In Columbus, I have friends who want to do MORE than drink all the time and hook up. Okay, so my Columbus friends like to drink, but we definitely draw the line there.

Listen, the point of me telling you all about how great my summer has been and how wonderful my life has been this past month or two is a mere declaration of my independence and a declaration of the all consuming love I feel inside. I was reading blogs from previous months and I was pitiful. I mean, just ridiculous. I was so worried about what "he" thought and how "he" treated me and honestly, I guess I never stopped to look at how I was treating myself. Definitely worse than he could ever do because, he is great...for someone else. And now that knowing that has reconstucted itself in me, I have been able to rebuild, redefine, relax, and guess what? Move on...I'm not going to lie and tell you that I had some epiphony or someone came to visit me in a dream and relayed all this confidence and positive energy. Oh no! Honestly, it was after I read the book Eat, Love, Pray (which I owe my whole summer to) that I was finally able to grasp what friends have been trying to beat into me all year! Thank you friends! Anyways, that's that.
