in 20 years time...

I have lived 20 years now.  It has gone by so fast.  I have learned so much.  Gone through so much.  

I have loved.  I have failed.  I have graduated.  Twice.  I have learnt how to walk, talk, stand, sit, read, write, sew, eat, dance, sing, and more. 

As each year passes I grow stronger from falling and getting back up.

I have made the most incredible friends.  Who have shaped who I am. . . sisters.

...sisters. friends. and partners in crime.

and my brother... has been my anchor... my best friend... (and most irritating too)

I have traveled across the world and met so many amazing people. <3 

So...

this post is super cheesy I know but I just want to say thank you to the people who took the time to say hi to me, or ask me how I was feeling, or talked to me, get to know me.  You made an impact on me and I wouldn't be the same person without that. I hope the next 4/5's of my life are as enriching... with new faces as well as old. <3 

I thank and love my mormor for caring about me so much all my life, and being my mother the year I lived in Sweden.  

And lastly to my parents... as crazy as they may be I love them each very much.  They brought me up.

another year has raced by...

goodnight... or should I say morning...
