She can be moody but dependable, vulnerable but guarded, and worrisome of change but can learn to adapt. Despite her calm facade, she experiences every emotion because she loves and cares deeply.  She is cautious who she opens up to.  She is a lover and a friend who is in it for the long haul, while standing by your side through thick and thin.  She has layers. She is interesting. She is simply, ME.

In less than a week I’ll be turning 29 and what a journey this year has been.  I found love when I thought love was lost and I’ve learned how adapt to change as well as welcoming spirituality back into my life.  My life holds my layers and this year has shown me that only a few people are fully capable of understanding the real me, outside this blog and social media.  It takes courage to open up to someone, but even more courage to learn to understand another individual on a level that welcomes vulnerability.  I am no-where near where I want to be, but my layers continue to unfold with every passing day, bringing me one step closer to who I am going to become.
