A lot can change in 4 years. 4 years ago I had just graduated college, I would be going to live in Sweden for the next few months starting in January of 2013. I would chop all of my hair off! Finally getting a pixie cut I wanted. I would start to feel like myself until the end of 2013 when I met a guy who ended up being one of the most horrible people I would ever meet, he would make me feel like I could never be loved, like I never deserve love and that I was a worthless piece of shit. I gained an amazing penpal who has become a close friend. And then I met the love of my life who I honestly could not imagine living life without. He makes me feel loved, he makes me feel safe, he makes me feel like I could do anything I put my mind to. And all the while my friendship has grown stronger. Yes there have been some friends that I have lost and not by my choice but by theirs and to be honest then leaving was the best thing for me and some of my other friends. You don't need toxic people like that in your lives and I'm glad that that one person is gone out of mine. 2016 was a horrible year for everyone, but I have a feeling that 2017 is going to be a year to remember. #change #2017 #newyear #growth #lovwyourself #pixiecut #growingup
