as we go on...

I know that it has been forever since the last time I posted but I guess it's easier to be motivated when you know a certain someone was always going to read it and love it. So, this post may be very different than my normal, but...


ANYWAYS!




Soon, I will be traveling back to Washington, D.C. and for those of you whom don't know or haven't had the chance to experience this amazing and life changing place, well you are truly missing out. Every year in this spectacular place, there is an amazing conference held there. However, this is more about the people, rather than the conference that it holds. You see, in this conference people from all over the country are invited to come, and these people are what make the most impact on you...




 These people open up, these people give you ever bit of themselves, these people leave you wishing you had a personal jet just so you could see them when your world is falling apart.


They could be people that you thought you knew before you left, and honestly weren't too excited to see, people you never knew and probably would have never thought could be such a great friend. They are the ones that come into your life, and you never want to leave.


Certain Texans that only make you smile when they talk about their love problems, or when they talk about their addiction to glitter, and how you actually impacted them without being anything more than yourself.


Those people from Michigan that call you randomly to cheer you up, or to tell you if they have a Perkins or not.


The girls from Kentucky that are beautiful, inside and out.


The roommates that let you check out their brothers and best friends, and wake up at 5 am just to say goodbye.


The guy from Indiana who holds your hand because you are afraid of escalators.


Plus, that inseparable groups of guys that seem to always make you laugh.


The community group that catches you in your leap to leave everything about your past behind, for the first time.


That one AMAZING woman from California that sees your strength, even when all you can do is cry your eyes out.


Finally, those people that you already knew, but became your best friends.


It's those people that you meet, when you can put your entire self out there, every single bit of who you are, were and could be. Yet, instead of letting you crash to the ground they catch every tear and every bit of hope just to know that you'll make it.
