An Open Letter To Small Businesses
Raleigh Flyfishing

There's so many thing I could write. Small business is such a beautiful pursuit. What most people don't see is how much time and effort it takes to create a business from love and passion towards customers. The amount of time that owners spend carefully planning their shops and vision.

I'm here to say that I love each and every one of you. No matter what business you have, no matter if it went out of business or it's soaring. You all are so wonderful and deserve so much credit. Every single business was hand crafted to provide a service or product for women and men around the world. It keeps our country alive. It's the principals of America and without small business so many people would be unemployed.

Small businesses around the world should get so much attention but a lot of the times fails because the internet age has taken over.

I'm here to say I appreciate every single step of your journey. From planning out your shop to cleaning and hiring staff. From investing your hard earned money into advertising and trying your hardest to bring the most valeuable touch to our lives, your hand crafted vision is beyond magical. It's so deserved for you to soar high and it doesn't matter what your business is, each one is so unique and a gift to our world. Without you we would be an unemployed generation of losers. You make people extremely excited greeting us with your tender love and care for our opinions.

You have thoughtfully risked your life for us to enjoy your amazing products and services. The sleepless nights and time away from family and friends to keep your store running. The amount of endless hours and 100 hour work weeks do not go unnoticed. Our generation thanks you for your remarkable persistence and willingness to give us a piece of your heart.

Small business is not only brave, unique, and clever it is change and provides locals a fun, memorable experience. Our world seriously thanks you for everything you do for us and the time you take to gather local men and women into a community not just a "group of people"

You see, community is incredible and without small business we really wouldn't have any.

Did we all forget how much they do for us? Did we all forget that walking into a store has so much more depth than ordering online?

Order online from a small business. Make sure to say thank you because the time they spend on making it possible for you to order what you love is unfathomable to the consumers eye.

I ask men and women around the world to shop local and next time you visit tell them how much it means to them.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
