A Letter To Future Me.
Odyssey

Dear me,

I hope when you read this, you are happy and have your life kind of figured out. If you are reading this, that means that life is going good for you (hopefully). I am writing this to make sure that everything turned out okay for you, and a chance for you to look back on the past you.

When you are having a bad day, remember all the funny times you had during your college years. Remember sharing a room with two other people for your first two years of college. Remember how you guys would stay up until the crack of dawn just talking about your life leading up to college. Or how different each other's family background is, or how scared all of us was to start freshman year at college. Remember how much Ramen you guys ate when you were too lazy to walk to get food.

When you are sitting at your big girl job, remember the road that you took to get there. Remember when you changed your major two weeks before going back to school Junior year. Remember that success doesn't have a straight path. Life takes you crazy places, but in the end it will pay off. Remember you need to have some falls to get to the highs.

When and if you get married, remember who taught you how to love. Remember those times you watched your parents show love to each other. Remember who told you that you don't spell love, you feel it. Actually Winnie The Pooh said that, but remember who encouraged that.

When you are becoming a mom to be, remember who raised you. Remember how your mother raised you to be the best you can be. Remember all the memories your mom made with you, and try to remake the same ones with your future child. Remember to support your child through anything just like how you got support while you were growing up.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world,

Sincerely,

Past you.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
