See Y'all Real Soon

I am entering into my last week of completing my seasonal hours for this year at Disney. As much as I will miss spontaneous trips to MK to catch Festival of Fantasy or to Downtown Disney to get ice cream, I am more than ready to go home and close this chapter of the book of my life. As I tell every person when they ask about Disney, it was a growing and learning experience, and I mean that in the most honest way possible. I most likely would not have learned these many life lessons if I had not come here. Working here will always be a special memory and life accomplishment.

It has been brought to my attention that in my last post where I wrote that I felt like I took a step backwards in returning here for the summer, that didn't make sense to some of you readers. Let me try to explain that better. Do you remember when you went to visit your high school for the first time after graduating? Like if you went for homecoming or to pick up your siblings? That's how I felt coming back here. Like high school, I basically graduated from Disney last summer. And coming back felt nostalgic, yet I knew I was done being here and I did not belong here anymore. Does that make more sense? I hope so, because that is the best analogy I can think of to relate these feelings to.

I am excited that the next few weeks will involve a lot of moving forward! I get to start my new job in the marketing department, be in our new house that my parents now own, and I get to go to NEW YORK CITY TO SEE NEWSIES ON BROADWAY! And then soon afterwards I will be entering my last year of undergrad. I honestly have no words on how I feel about that happening except that I am grateful to God for all the people He has placed in my life that helped me get there. Although some have come and gone, others have been on the ride with me since day one, and we will cross the finish line together. My motto for this coming year will be: keep moving forward and enjoy the ride. I think it will be a little too soon that it will be my turn to walk across the stage as I have watched others do the past 3 years.

So here's to returning back home and moving forward with life. See you Disney, and see y'all real soon Lynchburg!

You are enough.
You are so enough.
It is unbelievable how enough you are.
