I'm at a point in my life......
-that the people I surround myself with, I want to invest in their lives, and want to feel the same from them.
-that I don't care about your style, your beliefs, your status, I care about you, and want you to be yourself around me. NoliesNodrama.
-that I am content with sitting at home, reading a good book, instead of drinking the night away at the local watering hole.
-i don't want to waste time on fake friendships and surface relationships.
-i want deep, meaningful relationships.
-i want people that I can be myself around and not feel pressure to be someone else.

the other day I realized.....
-some friends never change, for the good or the bad.
-some friends you pick up with, right where you left off, even if you haven't seen each other in 6+ years.
-some friends inspire you to be a better person, without you even realizing it.
-some friends will always be your friend, regardless of the crap that's happened.
-some friends will never be your friend again, because of the crap that happened.

Really...
I'm a simple girl.
All I want.....
-to live every day in His presence
-to surround myself with love
-to always love
-to always impact positively
-to have genuine people in my life

it's crazy....
--for the last year or so, I haven't felt that here in Redding.
--but since we've decided we're moving, so many incredible people have came into my life.
-old friends and new friends-
--why now? why not last year, when I needed you the most?
--maybe to leave Redding on a good note?
--good memories?

regardless....
-I am happy that those old friendships have been rekindled...
----if we have survived 5 or 6 years with no contact, I know we can survive a 10 hour trip----
-I am blessed by the new friendships
----and plan on spending as much time with YOU before I leave.

I am....
-looking forward to this new chapter in my life.

loves-a.
