Who am I?

Who is Tara Nicole Avery?

I find myself asking this question all the time lately. I have gone through so much lately and I have changed   I am still trying to figure out who the new me is. I feel like I have changed for the better and that I have grown so much from my experiences. I guess my problem right now is finding where I belong. I feel like I don't fit in anywhere. I am trying but my shyness always gets in the way. I just can't seem to get out of my bubble and make more friends. I do pretty good if others branch out to me first. Thank goodness for good roommates who did reach out to me and have become really good friends. I don't know what I would do without these girls. I also don't know what I would do without my family. There are also the friends that I can always text and talk to. There are very few that I open all the way up to. So I am glad to have the 3 or 4 friends in my life even if they are at a distance from me.

 Most people don't really get to know the real Tara Avery. I have a barrier that not a lot of people can get through. I wish this weren't the case and that I could open up and be that social butterfly. I am going to keep pushing my comfort zone though. I have made pretty big steps (at least for me)lately. I am starting to attend things even if I have to go myself. I always feel awkward and leave asap but it is a step in the right direction right? So if anyone has any advice on how to branch out let me know!

 For now these are the things I do know, I am....

  • A Daughter of God
  • A proud  member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
  • Daughter of Russell and Teresia Avery
  • Sister to Aaron and Mandy
  • A Teacher
