Let Me Explain (1)

I've never been one to start a blog and maybe I'm still not. The reason behind this blog, or at least the reason I've started it, is because of a class assignment. But honestly, I do enjoy writing so why not start a blog and fill it with random stuff about myself or things that interest me? I've found that although I do love the idea of keeping a journal, I'm apparently not so great at setting aside the time to do so. Perhaps the concept of a blog will work well for me considering typing on a computer that I already find myself on frequently is easier than handwriting my thoughts. With that being said, you might be wondering what it is I'll be blogging about. That's a good question because I'm not too sure of that myself. What I do know, however, is the meaning behind the title of my blog. Since starting college, I've learned a lot more about myself, as many people do. Some of these include slowly figuring out what I want to major in, realizing I want to serve a LDS mission, and discovering that I may be more southern than I'd originally thought. I was born and lived my whole life up until this point in North Carolina. I once thought that I'd leave home and never look back. I was sure that adventure and entirely new experiences were the key to my happiness. But being on my own and two thousand miles away from home has taught me just how much I love everything about the south. Although I do love Provo, I think my heart belongs in a place much greener, humid, and with barbecue restaurants at just about every corner. I love and will continue to love every moment I have learning at BYU, but I think it's safe to say that home will always be the south for me. So that's where the title "Changing Perspective" comes from. I've learned that moving to Provo and even starting college takes some getting used to. At first, I struggled with the change and perhaps reflected too much on my easier years of high school. It wasn't until I heard this that I began to change my perspective, "Do you not believe that Heavenly Father loves you enough to give you a better future than your past?" This has resonated with me ever since and now I'm beginning to change my perspective on this new adventure. So to answer the question you may have had earlier, in this blog I will write about my journey of adapting and loving life here in Provo. I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I'm beginning to like writing them! :)
