A letter to My Person

Because I wouldn’t be me without you.

A letter to My Person

My Person,

I know there are hundreds and thousands of articles that have been written on what makes a best friend and why we’re the luckiest people in the world because we have the best one out there… this isn’t one of those letters.

It’s said that “Everyone you come across is placed there for a reason.”, but I will never understand what I did so good that God decided to place you in mine. You truly are one of my biggest blessings. In my hardest times when everyone decided to leave, you were the one person that stayed.

I really can go on and on and on about how much you have changed my life along with how much you’ve changed me in the process, but I could write a book. You are the most caring person I have ever met. You have such a heart of gold; you put everyone before yourself even when you need to put yourself first. Your happy spirit radiates through a room and you can cheer everyone up just by your presence and amazing attitude. You have made me want to become a better person for not only myself, but for others around me as well.

Thank you. Two simple words that mean more than you will ever know. Thank you for believing in me and loving and caring about me when all I was doing was pushing you away. Thank you for putting me first and always asking if I’m okay (we all know you know how upset I am so fast even if it’s over text message). Thank you for not only asking if I’m okay, but genuinely caring and putting all your effort into fixing whatever the problem is and putting a smile on my face. Thank you for being that person to consistently text me. Thank you for being my backbone, my therapist, the person who keeps me in line, my stylist, and my go to.

I wouldn’t be me without you. I know that no matter where life takes us, we will forever take on the world together one step at a time.

I love you always.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
