Happiness. I can say that I truly for once am in a state of pure bliss and happiness. Life just seems to shine brighter for me everyday. Quite scary if I am honest. I have an amazing man who doesn’t make me feel small and guilty all the time. He treats me with the utmost respect and is inevitably kind. Who would have ever thought that once I hit my all time low and suffered deeply with sadness, God would bring someone into my life who would help me to climb up out of my rut. I am truly blessed and grateful for everything I have. North Carolina is definitely no Austin Texas, but it has its perks. I am at a wonderful university finishing up my Bachelor’s degree with amazing new friends. Once I graduate, I will be back in Austin’s open arms once more and will be able to grow and develop myself as a woman with a career and a new home. I guess what they say is true, “once you step out of your comfort zone and look at life in a different and new way, you will find what you have been looking for.”

Date tonight.

I am so thrilled that I have finally met a guy who is sweet, handsome, rugby-built, exotic, polite and a gentleman. What is more exciting is that I gained the courage to go up to him and introduce myself. I just knew that he would laugh me off, but he asked for my number! My self confidence is out the roof.
