If I think back one, short year ago it's as if another stands in place of me in my memories.  I'm not the same person I was back then.  I'm so thankful for that.  I am still just as fragile.  I still am more emotional than most, however I've learned to think more critically and accept the things that I've done wrong.  I'm proud that my eyes have been opened and I am able to reevaluate the steps that I have taken and see where I should have treaded more carefully. Sure I've been slightly jaded, and my heart is still in the process of healing but I've learned.... err am learning.

One year later.  

I can't wait to look back in 5, 10, even 15 years.  

All I can pray is that I never stop growing and transforming that and that God continues to take control even when I royally mess things up.
