126 weeks ago was my last post.
There has been too much to explain so, might as well start with the present.
I am headed for Dublin and Cork Ireland in a few weeks to get some college credit, which makes no sense really because
I am a kiniesiology major? That is subject to change. But regardless, Ireland is going to be an amazing experience.
Leaving for school in the fall is terrifying. I hope I made the right decision to attend MSU, swimming competitively is not an option like it would have been at Grand Valley State.
Leaving good ole CL will be bittersweet.

So.
Yesterday I got back from Gathering 2005.
Like usual it was a life changing experience.
It changes the way you look at things.
It makes you realize how much you have and that you should be grateful for it.
Not to look at people as your enemies, and to forgive.
Everyone that was there was so kind, not like it is here.
It was like everyone had love in their hearts to all people.
No strings attached.
It doesn't matter where you were from or how you looked, it was like you were a big family.
I wish that I could have that feeling all the time.
Of acceptance,forgiveness and people not judging you.
Just because I wear the clothes I wear, or that I wear make up doesn't make me slutty or a bitch. Just because you wear wristbands and die your hair black, doesn't make you an asshole. You have to look at people in a different light. You have to look at them like they are a gift. And that there is a spirit behind their skin.
Forgiveness again was a big thing at gathering this year.
That is the whole reason why Ryan and I are dating, because last year, around this time I found the strength in myself to forgive him. Yeah, It was hard. But it was right. Forgiving is one of the best things to do with your heart.
Forgiving someone takes strength, and courage, and accepting that people make mistakes.
Grudges should just be let go because they are just hurting yourself.
I wish that every person could have the high that I have right now because of these past 4 days.
It changes your whole outlook on life and I can't wait until National Gathering in San Antonio, Texas in July.
Happy New Year.
