Dear diary,

I am finally accomplishing all the things I wanted in life so badly. After fighting so hard for them I feel like they've all come and laid themselves right at my feet.

Now I have a job that I actually enjoy where I make the amount of money I know I'm worth. I can go home every single night with a smile on my face and know I'm good at what I do. I can afford to treat my friends, my family and myself now. I have a home waiting for me at the end of the month that is absolutely incredible - it's something I never thought I could possibly afford for myself. I'm retouching my old interest in modelling and several photographers have expressed their desire to do a photoshoot with me, which I'm thrilled about. Even though I don't have the most experience out of everyone I know, modelling, photography, is one of my biggest passions and now I'm getting to indulge in it. Especially exciting is how talented these people really are with a camera. After all the hardship Elliot and I are the strongest we've ever been. Every morning when I wake up beside him, to his dark, dishevelled hair and beautiful mountain eyes, all I can I think about is how truly lucky I really am to have him. How one day I won't just belong to him in words only. He's the most amazing part of my life and all I want to do is thank him for being so perfect every day. I'm re-connecting with old friends; I can' t believe how good it was to see James the other night, to bomb-dive and hug him. We're all going to go to Reflections together tonight, just like old times. My little sister is moving into my home come September, where I'll be able to show her the way of the world, to prepare her for when she finally leaves the nest. I have regular phone calls from both my Mom and Angel and Andre, which makes me happy, too, because I missed that part of my family.

Everything is coming together. I don't know what I did to deserve it, I just thought I should celebrate it. Say it all out loud and marvel at the fact that it's all true.

I'm the luckiest girl penguin in the world.
