The craziest thing happened to me today! I ran into one of my old high school friends on campus--Logan Brown. He was here for SOAR and saw me in the TSC waiting for a class to start. Total flashback! I haven't seen or even heard from him in a year and a half and all the sudden he is looking at me!
I was contemplating this encounter later and I took a step back and looked at myself. Who am I? But more importantly, who am I compared to who I was in high school? I'm much more confident and self assured, and I am Taylor, not a copy-cat of someone else. I am me and no one else. I've stopped catering to other's desires. I have my own sense of simple fashion, and I like who I am. (I really like my longer hair too, I'm not sure how I stood those years of looking like a boy...) I am a home-body and I love being in quiet, comfortable places. I like having just a few close friends instead of lots of loose associations. I am independent and can entirely take care of myself (if you ignore my issues with nutrition... I like cookies ok?). I have made some important decisions all by myself, and I know how to follow what the Lord wants me to do.
Some of these things haven't changed a ton, but some of them have changed a LOT. I feel like an entirely different person from the one that left Springville High School a year and a half ago. Thank you USU for changing me and for helping me accept myself. And thanks to great roommates who put up with all this silliness. :)

Amen. Amen. And Amen. :) So wonderfully put! I love this.
