Day 30: a photo of you when you were happy

It's the final day of the photo challenge. I have loved sharing all of these pictures and memories. This final photo post is a little difficult. I have many pictures of when I'm happy—people don't tend to take pictures of when they are depressed.

I'm relatively happy right now, but not my happiest. I don't have a job, and I'm not in school. However, I know that I have been, and continue to be, blessed. I have many family members who help me so much. But I'm not overwhelmingly happy right now.

EFY has kind of been done in my photo challenge posts. Don't get me wrong, I am indescribably happy when I'm efy-ing it up. Still, I've had a lot of posts to do with efy. It's time for something else.

I'd like to take you back to the final months of my senior year in college.

I never really had a boyfriend during my college years. In the middle of my last semester, I met Kyle. I have never had so much in common with one person. Almost immediately we became best friends. We played on some Ultimate and soccer teams together with our ward. We watched movies, carved pumpkins, threw pumpkins, went on walks, etc.

Unfortunately, the semester was quickly coming to a close, and that meant we both were graduating. Even with the distance that came after graduation, we attempted to stay together. But after a few ups and downs, we ended it in July.

I know what you're thinking; this doesn't sound happy at all. But look at that picture! Obviously, I was happy. It was a lot of fun, and it definitely was a good experience. Did I think it would end? No, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Something that makes me really happy is all that I've taken from that relationship. I learned so much about myself and who I am. I know that I am a better person because of that relationship.
