Have I really only been back from serving an LDS mission for two and a half months? That can't be right. But when I think about it, it really has been. The past two and a half months have really been a whirlwind.
I returned from my mission because of many different reasons. I don't really want to go into detail about it, not because I don't like to talk about it, but because it's hard to explain. Unless you've had the same thing I've had, it's hard for anyone else to really understand. The hard thing about returning home and knowing I wouldn't be going back out to the field, was being about to remember that I did in fact, serve a mission. In my mission call, I was told that "it is anticipated that you will serve for 18 months." I only served for 2. But I still served a mission and was still forever changed by those I served. I've had many experiences that I will never forget. I've grown in many different ways. Ways that are a constant reminder that I am capable of doing something good.
Since being home, I have gotten my job at Wendy's back. I am forever grateful to my boss for re-hiring me. I love working there and have recently applied for a management position. (Keep your fingers crossed, folks!) I also have taken on the responsibility of buying a car and having a car payment. Sometimes, adulting is hard, but that's life, right? We have hard things, so that we can learn and grow. I feel like I have to continually remind myself of that. Being vulnerable and "cut open" emotionally, is how we are growing. We can't go through life with no hardships. That's not how we were created. We live, we learn, and we move on. Hopefully, becoming a better person as we go.
I have been so blessed with amazing family and friends who are continuous in their support and love for me. Life is hard, I won't deny that. But it is so much more worth it, when you have those you love by your side.
XOXO
