we'll make it, together.

friends are exactly the perfect medicine. 

i'm graduating... and it scares the crap out of me. 

and instead of living in the moment and actually enjoying life. 

i've been holed up in my room, just letting my anxiety fester and grow. 

graduation.. everyone keeps talking about it.

something i've been waiting for my entire life. 

something i feel i'm prepared to embrace. 

something i'm really excited about.. 

a grand adventure after my diploma. yay, right? 

and yet, i'm scared out of my mind to leave the people who know who i am. 

scared of the unknown. 

however, sitting around in my professor's living room tonight, talking with my ireland girls, was the perfect medicine. i cried. alot. cried tears of peace, hope, thankfulness. i am blessed beyond belief... i cannot even put into words how much ireland shaped me, gave me identity, family, peace, hope, life... friends who are like family. 

ireland was only a chapter in my book of relationships.

jbu has blessed me with SO many friends from so many places. 

my friends will get me through this year.

my friends will always be right beside me. 

my friends will always be my family. 

my friends are the perfect medicine.

reminding me about life outside. 

pulling me back to reality. 

encouraging with their smiles and hugs. 

my friends. :) 

boy, do i love them more than i can express. 

i suck at goodbyes. and i'm super sentimental.  

i'm going to cry alot this year. just so you know. 

but i'm going to make it through. 

i'm going to LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. 

because of you, my dear friends. 
you are the perfect medicine. 

gosh, i'm so blessed.
