[ hello, my name's lauren. what's yours? ]

who knew life could get so hectic? and stressful? and bring happiness i haven't felt in longer than i'd care to fess up to? 

in the three months i've been back in columbus my entire world has changed. i don't think i could put it into words without sounding ridiculous, but know that the move back might be the best decision i've ever made. i wake up happy. every day. it's hard to be in a bad mood when there is so much in my life to be excited about. i live in an amazing house with two of my best friends. i have two jobs where i am respected and appreciated for my talents and my character. and i've met someone who has given me a sense of hope that's been completely lacking for the past two years. 

i'm very proud to say my happiness has been entirely my own. i found it by myself and within myself. it's true what they say about loving yourself before you can love someone else, or give someone else the chance to love you, in my case. alright... i'm on the verge of gushing. 

hopefully i'll get better at making time for my little blog!
