Dear ___________, Thanks For Teaching Me.

Dear Friend,
Thanks for teaching me that I am stronger than I think.
And that it is okay to take walls down.
That it's good to give people second chances.
But it's also okay to stand up for what you deserve.

Dear Kindred Soul,
Thanks for teaching me that life happens when you least expect it.
That the best way to live is fully, and that there are people
that understand everything going on around me.

Dear Brown Eyes,
Thanks for teaching me that I will do ANYTHING and
drop ANYTHING for those I love. That with everything I do, I am all in!
That to be loved by me is kind of
a special thing and that I have a lot to give.
Thanks for teaching me that sometimes that means putting
my own feelings to the side a little bit,
so that I can help those I love. 
-K

Dear EpicWin,
Thanks for teaching me how to be brave.
For teaching me that a different path doesn't mean a wrong path. That picking yourself up and moving forward is one of the best feelings.
And that it's often necessary to take a leap of faith!
I will always love and be grateful for you.

Dear You,
Thanks for teaching me that it's okay to rant sometimes.
It's okay to be upset sometimes.
And it's okay that I am a baby and cry when I am feeling strong emotions.
Thanks for also teaching me to laugh at myself.
To enjoy all that I do, to be spontaneous and to live for me.
You're another one I will forever love and abe grateful for.

Dear New Friend,
Thanks for re-teaching me what it's like to discover something new.
For teaching me to be open minded, and reminding me what
it is like to be in uncharted territory.
I hope this new friendship turns into an old one.
-K

Dear Mom,
Thanks for teaching me basically everything I know.
And for teaching me that I can do hard things.

Dear Dad,
Thanks for teaching me what it means to
feel the spirit. And what it means to follow Christ.
I was one of the lucky ones who got to learn this from you.

Dear Self,
You have some pretty great people in your life.
Continue to learn from them. Everyday.
Thanks.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go.

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
