A deserving Thank You

A Open Letter to Those Who Have Stuck by Me

Ev·er·last·ing

( Lasting forever or for a very long time )

A fragile term I choose to use for a handful of people in my life, and for those people reading this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This one’s for you.

From numerous breakups and passings, to prom pictures and birthdays. You have made the decision to stick by my side through it all. Even when our friendship has been at its lowest and time would play its part in bonding us. We always somehow found our way back to each other. And as for when our relationship is at its highest, we grow stronger each and every day.

Even waking up everyday and feeling the sting of pain, on my weakest days, you were right there with “Good morning” texts. The feeling of security that rushed through my body with the words appearing on my screen. It sends a message that you are going out of your way first thing in the morning to make sure I am taken care of. And for that, I will forever in a sense fall in love with our friendship over and over again.

You mean more to me than the air I breathe, and the ground I walk upon. Because without you I don’t see light or hope. Without the simplest hellos and the hardest goodbyes how could I possibly know what true love and dedication felt like. Between me and you, you turned my demons away and in came the angels. You have changed me in ways you can never fathom.

For every key there is a lost heart awaiting to be unlocked, to be loved. I was that heart, and you were the key. When I had said that I didn’t have the strength to pull through or continue, you responded with these exact words.

“You can be tired, and weak, but I promised myself that I would carry you throughout your days. I am never leaving and that is a vow I'm more than willing to stand by.”

Never forget that you are deeply appreciated, and I will always love you.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
