Best Friends

I just finished a book and it talked a lot about best friends. The narrator was explain the top 3 things she loves about her best friends.  I have been meaning to write about my best friends for a while now but I never knew what I was going to say... So here goes nothing. The top three things I love about my best friends.

     Kayla

1. She can read my mind. She knows EXACTLY what I am thinking before I even say it. We say the same things at the same time and finish each others sentences. I swear we have Twin Telepathy.

2. She is an AMAZING baker. She has a natural talent for baking, anything and everything. Even though whatever she makes usually comes out of a box it tastes like it's made from scratch.

3.  She is gross. She burps and fart like a boy but somehow still manages to be the girl everyone wants to hang out with.

      Josh

1. His dry sense of humor. He can make me laugh with one of his stupid jokes, even when I am bawling my eyes out.

2. The way he never takes anything too seriously. He lets everything just slide off his shoulder, but he still has a soft spot in his heart.

3. He is the kind of person you automatically feel comfortable with. I knew from the moment we met in 7th grade that we would be best friends. I can talk to him about anything in the world and I know he wouldn't see me any differently.

     Jamie

1. The way she randomly dances. Everywhere, any time of day, with or without music.

2. She doesn't care what people say or think about her. She is completely herself.

3.  How completely OBESSED she is with her favorite bands. She has signed posters and pictures covering her bedroom. All she posts on Facebook is tour dates and days until concerts and what the band members are doing. She even had her favorite member of her favorite band (Tony Perry from Peirce the Veil) on her 16th birthday cake. She ate his face.

Those are my best friends. They have been with my through up and downs in my life just like I have been there for them. I love them so much. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Lazy Week..

This winter break was rather uneventful. I did not do much or go anywhere special. I mostly stuck around my house, either because my parents were working or they did not want to go anywhere. I spent almost everyday with my bestfriend Kayla. We layed in bed for hours. Occasionally we got up and watched TV or played a board game but that was very rare. On Christmas Eve I went to my boyfriend, Matthews house. We hung out around his house for a few hours until it was time to go to his grandmas house. We got to his grandmas, had dinner and sat around the dinner table and talked. It was great to actually be apart of one of their traditions. It made me feel like I was really apart of their family. Later that night we opened up presents. I gave Matt, his mom, stepdad, and 5 year old sister gifts.Of course they spoiled me by buying me too many things in return. It was nice to see his family again, they always make me feel welcome. The best part of that day was when I got Matt to play Barbies with me and his younger sister Bella. It makes me happy to see him care for her unlike most older brothers. I did not want to go home at the end of the day, mostly because I knew that I would just have to go home and sit there with nothing to do. I would have loved for it to be that amazing everyday of my winter break but I will take what I can get.

Dear Dylan,

I never wanted things to end this way between us, but I know that this is best for everyone. I just need you to know that I love you. You have been the most amazing friend anyone could ask for. You taught me so much and have always been there for me without hesitation. I could not ask more. I think back to all of the great times we had with a heavy heart, but a smile on my face. I will never regret calling you one of my best friends. Although, I do not want you to worry about me. I am strong, and I know I can make it through. I just want you to be strong for yourself. You are one of the few people in the world that I care about most in the world. I would hate to see you lose yourself. I want you to promise that you will always live for YOU and no one else. Never stop chasing your dream. No matter what gets in the way.

With love and best wishes,

Jaden

Oh no. Not again.

I do not exactly have a "role model" or a "hero" in my life. Although if I had to choose a person that I admire I would have to choose Sarah Dessen. Like I have said before in older posts, she is my favorite author. Her books make me happy, and sad. They make me hate and love, but most of all they make me feel, something I try not to do often. They make me think and feel things that I don't want to face. I love her for so much more than just her writing though. Of course I wish I could write half as well as she can, but I also wish I had her lifestyle. She is happily married with children, living in North Carolina. She also graduated with Honors in Creative Writing. This is what I have always wanted to do when I was older. I want to write and make people happy with my book. I want people to feel the connection with the characters like I do in Sarah's book. I hope I can get the chance to meet her one day and let her know how much she has impacted my life.

Southern Comfort Zone

If I could live anywhere in the world I would live in Tennessee.  My grandpa lives in the mountains of Tennessee and as far back as I can remember I have always loved being there. All of the mountains and greenery make me feel at home and at peace. I love hiking in deep wood and suddenly coming across wildlife and beautiful scenery. It would be amazing to wake up and sit on the porch while watching the sun come up, or being able to see all of the stars at night without those annoying city lights. Although I would love to live in the secluded mountains, I also really enjoy the bustling city of Nashville. Even though I have never actually been to Nashville, I still think I would enjoy it. Nashville is known for being one of the best music cities, which is right up my alley. Nashville is also home to Vanderbilt University, which is a College I am considering applying for. I think living outside of Ohio will be a good step for me. There is not anything left here for me, I  just hope to find my southern comfort zone.

If money were no object..

What would you want to be and why would you want to be that? This question has given me a lot to think about. I never knew exactly what I wanted to be so this gave me the opportunity to really step back and think. I finally realized, if i could be anything I would be an author. I love reading and writing with all my heart and I would love to touch people with my writing like other authors have done for me.

Oy vey holidays...

The holidays and I have a love/hate relationship. Looking at all the lights reflecting off of the newly fallen snow while listening to Christmas music snuggled up in mittens and scarves  I love that. I honestly can not get enough of it. I wish it would be endless winter. On the other hand, holidays often involve family. I am not AT ALL a family person. I could live a perfectly happy life without seeing them. It sounds terrible but it is true... I do not enjoy my family, they are a bunch of loud, obnoxious, showy, whiny people. Again, it sounds terrible but it is true. My family has a lot of issues, more than I want to get into. Thus the reason I am trying my hardest not to be home this holiday season. If everything went my way I would read 100 books and sleep for days, unfortunately I can not do said things because my mom says I "have to be social". Hopefully the holidays won't kill me this year, I just have to keep thinking about the pumpkin rolls I get to eat.
