365 days...

In one year, a lot can change.

365 days.

8,760 hours.

525,600 minutes.

31,536,000 seconds.

A lot can happen.

Actually, a lot can happen in just one second.

One look can change two lives.

One text can ruin a friendship.

One mistake can end a life.

It doesn't take a year to change things.

It can take but one second.

Looking back to a year ago, a lot has changed.

I've changed.

I'm different: for the better and the worse.

In some ways, I'm thankful.

In other ways, I hate it.

A year ago, I took for granted what I thought I would always have.

A year ago, I didn't know what a bad day actually was.

A year ago, I thought nothing could hurt me.

A year ago, I thought I had everything I could ever want.

It's been 365 days.

8,760 hours.

525,600 minutes.

31,536,000 seconds.

And a lot has changed.

Now, I know what's important and make sure that I don't take anything for granted.

Now, I know what bad days are, and how easily they can come.

Now, I know I'm not invincible. That inevitably, bad things happen to good people.

Now, I know how blessed I am, but I had to lose the most important things to realize.

A lot can change in one year.

Right now, I am a different person than I was last year.

And next year, I'll be someone else.

But if what I experience in that time brings me closer to my Savior;

then I can handle any change life throws my way.
