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.
-K

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.
-K

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.
-K

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.
-K

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.
-K

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.
-K




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

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...

Tonight I Feel Broken.

Not completely, but a little bit yeah. I am so tired, my eyes are heavy and they burn. I have no desire to do anything at this point. It's cold and my body just sort of hurts. We've gotten snow the last two days and I am not a fan. Last night I got a phone call from my Father. Apparently my parents haven't been talking to each other about some things in my life the way I had hoped. I sat on my floor a sobbed talking to my Dad on the phone. I miss him. Not only is he my Dad, but he's one of my best friends and favorite people to be around. We had a very good talk and it helped me a lot...or so I thought. I then spent the night watching a movie and hanging out with some friends. It was great. I cant explain the love I feel when I am with such wonderful people. I went to bed last night just as confused as I the night before, just as confused as I will tonight. It's hard. My Mom keeps telling me I can do hard things. Today she made me promise that when I doubt myself or...
