So long, 2013.

I don't know about you, but I for one am glad this year is coming to an end. 2013 has not been my favorite. Don't get me wrong, there were some good things that happened, and all the less-than-fabulous came with lessons learned. (The good things, too!)

I learned...... that loss is a part of life. It's heartbreaking, and painful, but God is holding your hand the whole way through.

I learned...... that with practice, crafts can become pinterest worthy.

I learned...... that Taylor Swift is the best friend I've never met. (Well, I learned that seven years ago, but still)

I learned...... that life is fragile, and it can be taken away in the blink of an eye.

I learned....... that it's okay to ask for help. 

I learned...... that I'm useless without my morning coffee. 

I learned...... that good friends are one of life's greatest blessings. 

I learned...... that there's nothing a little Gilmore Girls can't fix. 

I learned...... that doing things for other people is a wonderful feeling. 

I learned...... that a little lipstick can make you feel like you can conquer the world. 

With all of this in mind, I'm personally beyond ready to bring in 2014. After all, it's a chance to start over. It's also the year I'll say goodbye to teenagehood and begin a whole new chapter of my life- my twenties. That thought is exciting, terrifying, and hopeful all at the same time.
This is a time for new beginnings. So I am putting 2013 in a box and throwing it into the Rio Grande. (Well, metaphorically anyway) Here's to this year. Be strong. Be fearless. Be happy. Be brave.

xoxo, Kae.
