So, it's been almost a year since I've looked at this blog- hah! My bad, my bad. Tonight I was reading a post from my favorite blogger Kendi, who shared about her struggle with anxiety and depression. I love vulnerability because it brings forth vulnerability in others. There you have it, my deep thought for the night.

But seriously, I so enjoyed reading her blog that it made me remember mine. How much life has happened in the last year? So much life. While making my nightly serving of Nesquik, I was thinking about what to write about tonight. An explanation for why I forgot to post outfits for the last year? Nah. Big life updates? Too predictable. A joke? Naturally.

Just kidding.

Instead, I will say a little bit about what has happened over the last year.

When I created my last post, I had just begun working at a shelter for child victims of sex trafficking. I'm thankful to God for all that I experienced in this position, however deeply challenging it was. I learned a lot about myself, and more about the incredibly relentless love of God. I recently closed this chapter of my life (to possibly be opened in the future- the Lord knows) to spend more time with Ben, and to take care of myself. I have experienced so much peace since stepping back, but I must say my heart is still very much with those girls.

Now I am in a season of determining what is next. This is a fun, awkward, hopeful, and confusing place to be in. I feel like I just got to college and I need to pick a major. Or I'm a senior and I need to pick a major. Oh wait, I already did that. Side note: college friends, you CAN successfully change your major late in the game. There's always the victory lap. Anyway, I am at a place of being interested in many entirely different things (decorating and forensic psychology, for instance) and not knowing which to choose. Can't I just do everything? I'm sure there's a Demi Lovato song about this. Here is my list of current career paths:

-artist
-decorator
-fashion person (this is a career path, folks)
-child psychologist
-forensic psychologist
-trauma/crisis counselor
-researcher on effective treatment for trafficking victims

There you have it. My dreams for all the internet community to see. I don't really know what I will do, but I'm not worried about it :) Until God makes it clear, I will restart this blog, and make tons of pillows, and paint, and read articles, and think about going to grad school. Life is very good, because my Father is very loving.
