I am ecstatic about starting college back up again! I'm luckily coming to a close with my Disney Internship which I am happy with. Not that I didn't learn TONS while I was here, but because I am ready to move on from the program. I'm ready to become a seasonal cast member here with the Walt Disney company & get my butt back in the classroom and the theatre! I'm nervous about the classroom, but I do miss the stage.
As I do come to a close here I feel as if I should reflect on my time here and ponder the wonderful & not so wonderful things I've learned here. But the truth is I can't explain all the things I've learned!!!! I have completely learned so much that I don't think I can retrace all my steps! As a human being, I have grown immensely! From understanding people and their intentions on a deeper level to having so many crazy experiences to having so many relationships. I have been blessed to be in an environment where I have been challenged to grow so quickly in such a small amount of time. I don't think I'll ever be the same!
I remember all the great times I've had with friends here and the ridiculous things we've done! From getting tattoos to beach trips to dinners to dancing all night to many, many drunk adventures to just being completely & utterly crazy for no reason! It's so crazy to think of all the goals I've accomplished here and how that has shaped and continued to shape me into a more rounded person. I'm going to miss the all day tanning days to Tigger bouncing around all day to the smiles on the children's faces when they see magic come to life at Disney World.
I may have to end this short now because I have to go, but I just wanted to touch base here & explain how thankful I am for all that has been brought into my life and how much I'm going to miss this magical place. The people, the events, the concept, the constant thriving life of all these people working towards the same goal. It'll be great to look back on all these memories and say "Wow, man... I lived. I really grasped every opportunity that summer and on & embraced life to the fullest."
And I believe I still am today :] These past couple weeks I have been challenged more than I have my whole time here! Or at least from an introspective point of view. Relationships can be difficult, but his persistence to continue to still pursue me and not give up is really impressive. I am glad I am persistent too, because if not I don't think I'd be in a relationship right now! Yet with all the effort we are placing into this to work, it just shows true colors as to how much we care for each other. How much we both want this to work, about how much closer we want to to get to each other & be there to help each other at any point we are in need.
I can boldly say without a shadow of a doubt that I trust him. That I believe and know in my heart that his word is the truth. And that's all I can do. Man, it feels good to say that! I completely trust him! Plus, if anything happens, oh well... then he wasn't worthy enough to have me anyway! I love how God is working through this to relationship to show me how much I need to work on myself. It's fantastic! And I adore Matthew so much. I really do. I'm blessed to have known him now & to continue to know him. I have learned so much from him... and I'm excited for where we are going to take this relationship!
Although we may be distant for a period of time, distance only makes the heart grow fonder.
Bottom line, I'm doing really well. I've received incredible opportunities here and I continue to achieve to higher places of success in my own life. Praise God! Thank you Father for standing by me through everything. So cheers! Here is to the next six months of my life! *Lifts glass
Amen ;]
