This is me. I am nineteen. I'm a full time college student and part time bridal consultant at one of those impersonal nationwide department stores that hire women who are willing to delude the minds of lovestruck young couples and tell them "Oh yes, every married couple needs sixteen place settings of $100+ fine china" and "Of course it's practical! You'll use it all the time!" I am engaged to a truly wonderful guy who really does treat me like a princess. We met ten months ago and will be married in a little over a year. Crazy, right?
I realized when I started working in the adult world that many grown-ups had difficulties in their life and were in the process of healing and despite their pain were willing to share their stories with me. I've had a different kind of teenage experience which left me broken, confused, and unsure of how to make peace. As I've gone through jobs (and life) I've met many regular people with extraordinary stories. Lately, I have felt as though God has presented me with these people to teach me. I feel like I'm ready to come to terms with my previous circumstances and make peace with my regrets after nine months of speechlessness. This blog is intended to record the dialogues between myself and these God-sent, as well as my thoughts on healing.
