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.

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.

I hope this new friendship turns into an old one.

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

Continue to learn from them. Everyday.
Thanks.

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...

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them. And that is completely worth it.

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.
