The greatest feeling in the entire world is just getting to be yourself. All judgments aside and no one to impress. Being yourself is by far one of the most relieving this to do in this world. It's awesome to just be able to relax around people who love you and just be who they know you are. No hiding behind a mask or putting up some front of who we really aren't.
Knowing that my family accepts and loves me for me is absolutely awesome. I know my sisters are just as crazy, loud, and weird as me. I love it. I love the fact that we can laugh at absolutely nothing. My sisters are my true best friends. They always have been and they always will be. Although we bicker and fight along with tease and make fun, I know they are always there for me. Yeah, we joke a lot of the time, most of the time we are together, but we can be serious when we need to be.
I look up to my sisters more than they know or ever probably will know. They have taught me so much about life, love, and just being myself. They taught me to never settle less than I deserve, people that want to be in my life will find a way to get there and stay there, and that family always comes first. I wouldn't be half the sister, friend, or person I am today without them. They are seriously my backbone and I would be so lost without them. I know I can go to them with anything and that they won't judge me. My sisters want the best for me and I know they share my pain, joy, and anger. I love my sisters with my entire heart and I would do absolutely any thing for all three of them. I have been truly blessed.
Along with that, all my friends I have had through out my entire life have contributed to the person I am today. One of my best friends has been my best friend since kindergarten. I wouldn't change a thing about our friendship. I know college has kind of separated us, we don't talk as often as we used to or as we'd like, but when we do talk it's like nothing ever changed. We still talk like we have been talking every single day. I miss her so much and I am so glad that we are experiencing different things. I cannot wait to see where life is going to take us.
One of my best friends growing up was one of my cousins. We did everything together. We were always having sleepovers and never wanting to leave each other. Our lives were one in the same and we were inseparable. Even through middle school, we were probably closer than we had ever been. Through high school and college we haven't been as close, but we still talk. I still consider her to be one of my best friends. She is one person I know I can come to with anything and know I won't be judged. We have lived two very different lives but I know she will always understand me and vice versa. I would give anything to see her achieve everything she wants out of this life. She is one person that I know can truly be herself anywhere. She is truly inspiring to me. Although she might never know it, she is what everyone should be like. She doesn't care what people think and she doesn't try to impress anyone with fancy things. She is always going to be herself no matter where she is. She might be younger than me, but I have learned a lot from her. She is amazing.
Last but certainly not least and definitely not even close to the last people to talk about are my suite mates. They are the two best friends a girl could ever ask for. I've never been one to have many friends but as soon as I got to college they befriended me like it was nothing. I have never had two people accept me for me as quickly as they did. I am so thankful that I can be myself around them and that I get to experience the best years of my life with them. I would not have made it through my first semester of college without them in all complete honesty. Without evening knowing me that well, they openly and welcomely sat and listened to me cry over my, what is now, last relationship. I would not trade these girls for the world. They are absolutely amazing. I love and accept them for who they are. I love their personalities and every little quirk. You would think that we have been best friends all of our lives.
I am so thankful for so many people in my life. The list goes on and on. I could write forever about people I love and helped me become me. Those people who helped shape me and are no longer in my life are just as important. I'm sure I'll be talking about these people along with others as I continue to write. I love my life and I truly should not complain. I have been blessed. I am thankful, grateful, and loved.
I really can't deny it. I am who I am. I’m pretty normal. I’m not that smooth type of girl. I run into things. I trip. I spill food. I say stupid things. I really don't have it all together. -Katie Holmes
with that being said, until next time...
