My life hasn’t changed. I still have midterms to study for. I still wonder if i’ll get into nursing school and what the future graduation will bring. I still question if I’m doing enough sometimes – if I’m still growing as a person and marching forward.

But now there’s this extraordinary joy I feel as I go through each day now. The smallest things give me the warmest fuzzies. Nothing really ‘happens’ but yet I still smile at odd times through the day. I don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. It’s a delicate balancing act, but I feel at peace with myself. No overthinking. No worrying. No self pep-talks. Just me.

Nothing in particular happened today. It didn’t have to.
