Peace Out.

In downtown. In my adventure dress.

I leave Monday at noon for Basic. I can't freaking believe it's finally time for me to leave. Just when I started getting comfortable in my new casita with Cyterica. The last three weeks have been incredible, albeit unpredictable, but I wouldn't change one thing. Just when I think I've got myself figured out, something happens and I'm left feeling small and clueless. But the beauty of life is that, even if it hurts, we still feel and it helps us know that we're alive. We're all still connected through sorrow and joy, and the Truth that binds us together is real. I am loved. I love others. And I will continue to grow as an individual and in all of my relationships.


The challenges that lie ahead of me are hidden in the shadows of the unknown. But, once the light of the present shines on them, I will face them. And I will come out on top. No matter what I go through, what I see, or who I meet, I will always just be Kristen. Because, even at twenty years old, I haven't figured out what I projected to by now. And that's just fine. But I choose movement, not stasis. I can't stay in this town and grow stagnant. I must explore bigger waters. I desire knowledge and adventure and that is precisely what I will find.


I'm expected to graduate on June 3rd, and I will summarize my experience as best as possible once I've graduated. Thank you everyone for your love, patience, and encouragement in my little writing endeavors. I will be going to Broadcast/Journalism and Photography school at Fort Meade, which is right outside of Baltimore, Maryland. I will blog through that whole adventure, so you'll get to learn about the Air Force right along with me! Hooray! Get ready for an adventure, folks!




Con Mucho Amor,
Kristen
