Disney

I love Disney movies!
and so, I've decided to watch all 50 disney classics, in chronological order. this may seem like a waste of time, however, I think this will be a good. Random. but good. and so, I will be watching and posting comments on disney movies as part of my reflection and healing.

Change

Sometimes, people change.
overtime, gradually or suddenly.
things change,
feelings change,
people change.
situations affect us
for better or worse.
I think mine have been mostly
worse.
I hate the person I've become.
it may sound harsh
but its true.
I don't hate myself,
just the person that I have become
the last little while,
at the moment,
the person who
I am trying to
change.

Introduction

My name is Shantel. Or Shantie. Whatever you prefer.
I am 21.
I am a Christian, though my faith may be shaky at best sometimes.
I am starting over.

The end of July, 2012.
I packed up my things and moved to Edmonton Alberta to be with my boyfriend of almost two years. I found a job, and an amazing place to live. This gorgeous five bedroom fancy house in a rich neighborhood, with a private country club(now if you know me at all, that doesn't fit my lifestyle, but i was gonna live it up for a change) and I was so excited about all this.

In September of 2012.
My car(very first car, which I've only owned for a year) died,
 my boyfriend broke up with me,
I quit my job and left where I was living and moved into a small 1 bedroom apartment with a friend I hadn't seen in over two years.

I don't know where I'm going from here. I know that there is a lot of things I need to deal with. I've made a lot of changes in my life in the last month, and I feel that there are many more to come. But life is an adventure, and I intend to live it to the fullest, whatever that looks like at the moment.
I'm on a journey. a journey of self discovery, a journey of becoming a better person, of trying new things and finding my passions. And I hope that someday my life, as chaotic as it may seem right now, may touch others, and change their lives for the better.
 That is my hope.

blessings.
