365 posts

this is an odd experience for me. today i realized that i have 364 posts, and no more drafts because i deleted them all. which makes this one the 365th one. so...if you started reading today and only read one post a day, it would take you only a year to go through nearly three years of my life via posts.

strange that i've been at this for so long. admittedly i've changed the URL at least twice and the blog design itself probably at least twenty times but in the end it's all the same words. it's still just me...just kaylla.

and it's kind of like that quote:

"Funny how day by day nothing changes but looking back, everything's changed."

and it's so true. i still feel like kaylla. but i know that so much has changed i couldn't even hope to put my finger on all of the things. i've been broken and put back together. i've been burned and then healed. i've laughed and i've cried. i've found love a few times and lost it too. i've moved a couple times and made new friends. i've discovered friends in unlikely places and then just as unexpectedly lost them again. most importantly i have grown.

i've grown from a young girl of innocent dreams to a young woman of tall hopes. i've grown in love for my Savior and His true gospel. i've fallen in love with life and sunshine. i've discovered music in my very soul and beauty in the smile of those around me.

i know it will only keep going like this and i'm honestly so very, very excited. i'm excited where the next few years may take me. i know i will end up happy in the end although life may not go according to plan.

we can only hope our plans fall through...and many of them won't. but some of them will. i hope that in two years i will meet up with my best friend and we'll be able to honestly see where to go from there. i hope to serve a mission...and i'm pretty darn tootin' sure i'm gonna. i hope that in about four years...ish...i will be starting my own little family. i hope to be able to graduate from USU. i hope to have adventures and to see this beautiful country on my little excursions {join me sometime!}

i'll make it.

i've got the rest of my life ahead of me. i have nothing in my way to stop me but myself. life is so incredibly open to me that i couldn't possibly do anything but smile and share that happiness every single day with those around me.

so see you around
