Tonight I'm taking a break from Joe's Basement. I'm too inspired by the last Harry Potter movie, diet coke and a plethora of candy and treats provided to me by Kelsy.
I think that people are put in your life for a reason. Why it may not always be clear I'd like to think I have some of them figured out and I'd like to list them here... This isn't fact, just theory.
In Chronological order from who I've met from first to last.
1. My mom- well she obviously gave birth to me and that's a pretty big reason, but she has gotten me through the thick and thin. I don't know how many times that poor woman has been the brunt of my anger and anguish and I love her for everything she's done.
2. My best friend Hannah- This girl has made me laugh so hard. She's cried with me, listened to my problems, taken me to Florida. She inspires me to live (not that I want to die), she just has such passion in life (and brains) and I've always been grateful for her willingness to share that passion with me.
3. My friend Kelly Thompson- Kelly helped me live through being a teenager. She gave me guidance and fun experiences that kept me going. She was living proof that I could be okay even during high school drama.
4. My Big Sister Alicia- I honestly don't think I'd be alive without her. She's taken me to the hospital and doctors only a few times less than my mom. She's is my shining example, and one of the few people who I appreciate life advice from. I'm so blessed to have her.
5. My Little Sister Kaily- She is wild, fun, witty and full of almost constant energy. She loves so many things. We've gone through up's and down's but we've always been there for each other when it mattered.
6. My Roommate Michelle- Michelle has taught me how to be a clean person. I know that sounds silly, but she really does make me clean my room! She also taught me how to pay a bill. Michelle is someone that would literally give you the shirt off her back (as long as she had appropriate attire on underneath) and do it happily. She is on top of her shiz and inspires me to do the same.
7. Austin Taylor- The only boy I've mentioned on here so far... Austin never judges me and he knows some downright awful and embarrassing things about me. From him I learned the lesson I will always be okay. Life is hard, but you will always be okay. I feel as if I owe him a debt of gratitude for showing me how to be a better person, while still remaining true to my personality.
...and last but not least!!!
8. My new-found friend Kelsy- Part of me almost believe we were separated at birth... and two years... since she's 2 years older than me. Although we've only known each other a short time I think she is one of the most fantastic people I've had the pleasure of encountering. We've already shared so much, especially as far as calories go, and I hope we stay friends for a long time. It's been a challenging summer and she's aided me in my efforts of self-improvement and fun, both of which I am very appreciate of.
There are many many more people of whom I could list, but off the top of my head and for the sake of my need to get to bed, I'm stopping myself. If only that temptation of my sweet bed and pillow hadn't consumed me. At least I'm consistent in my love and almost constant desire to sleep.
