Finding Comfort in the Unknown: A Poem

Gillian Carter Student Contributor, The University of Utah
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Life will amaze you in the most stunning ways

The sunset beyond the mountains

The waves crashing on the shore

Life will gift you with the best moments

Ones that will make you better,

grow you,

help you become the person you want to be

Life will also break your heart

Nothing can prepare you for this feeling

It will carry within it all kinds of losses

It will mold you in uncomfortable ways

Life will demand you to do the work

Believe the tears that you cry will shortly dry

You haven’t met all the people you are going to love

You haven’t seen all of life’s amazing gifts

Believe you are growing

Never forget that  

Hi! My name is Gillian Carter. I am from Monument, Colorado (meaning I love the mountains). I am attending the University of Utah to study Recreational Therapy in hope of going to PT school after I finish my bachelors degree. I love doing anything outdoors, reading, getting coffee, and being with my friends and family! I have always had a love for writing so I hope you guys enjoy :)
