inspired.

Today was actually an alright Sunday. I woke up around 10am. Actually lets make that 11am, with my nose running and a sore throat. But besides that it went well. Hung around the apartment for a little bit, then me and Liz went and got Starbucks. Iced Grande Soy Chai here ladies. Yumm. After starbucks, I went to yoga with Lauren, then had a meeting about the collaboration with the composer, then had rehearsal until 8:30. Phew long day.

Heres some photos from last night before I forget, (me, ange & heather)

My name is Nicole. I’m almost able to call myself a college senior. Scary, because it feels like it was just yesterday that I was in highschool. However, a lot has happened since those days: a parent has died, friendships ended, friendships started, relationships ended;restarted;and ended again, friends have died. I am not the same person I used to be. No one usually is the same person they were in high school. I’ve learned many things. Learned to care about someone other than myself, learned what love is, look past flaws, & grow. Unfortunately things aren’t always picture perfect. As much as you love someone, you have to love yourself more, and I wasn’t. I’ve grown as a person immensly. It’s so easy to just tell yourself that your life can be better, but its the action that you take to make it better that matters. I’ve learned to never say something I don’t mean, keep my best friends close, keep my head held up high and keep pushing on because after every sunset in life, there’s always another sunrise that you are meant to see. I have so many goals and dreams in life, and its overwhelming at times, but I will prove everyone wrong. You think I don’t have it in me, well I do. And I will go farther than you think I can. When you see me in 5 years, you will be shocked to see that I’m better than I was before, because we all keep growing and learning, not from our mistakes. I don’t believe we make mistakes, I think that we decide to go about things and we learn. Everything happens for a reason. People & things are brought into your life for a reason. They all teach you something to bring with you through the next part of your life. I have no regrets. I am not bitter. Things don’t work out because they aren’t supposed to. You lose things in life to appreciate them when they were good, and you can either hold on to the bad times or remember them for the good they brought you. Things end and things begin. Thats life. The sun keeps shining.
