2013 is the year of the snake. This is supposed to be my year and things are supposed to be all good right...? Wrong. It's been a crazy year so far. Let's recap below in bullet points:
-I was robbed in January. It's been a terribly slow recovery process--mentally & emotionally.
-Quarter life crisis hitting me smack in the face, and as it turned out everyone around me was having one too.
-So many injuries happening to the people I love, and things having to do with hospitals which is never fun.
Anyways the list goes on but what matters is how you bounce back right? Yes. I'm back and I'm feeling better than ever. When I feel good on the inside I feel good on the outside. People always ask me what secret beauty and life tips I have up my sleeves and this time I really took my own advice. I've been eating healthy, working out, living day to day in the details, remembering to breath (funny how you forget sometimes and it's one of the most important things), and tackling things one at a time. It's been rough, but I need to credit some people for helping me get through this rough patch.
This post is dedicated to my best friends. People comment on how I talk about all these best friends I have and how there can't be that many. How can a girl have so many best friends?!? Aren't best friends supposed to be one in a million!?! Well yes, my best friends are one in a million. I'm just lucky I guess. It is incredibly rare to meet another human being that is a compatible partner in life at large. It's hard to meet your perfect match when it comes to a romantic relationship, but it's just as hard to meet your perfect match or your person that's always going to have your back in the friendship department.
Thank the spirits for my girls. I don't know what I would do without them.
Jessy- I don't know where to begin. You and I share so much history. From learning magic tricks in the bathroom in 5th grade, all the crazy boy stories, the sleepovers, me covering your face with makeup because of your asian glow when we got drunk, to being on the phone for hours on end everyday. I know we aren't on the phone for hours on end anymore, but every time I hear your voice again it's like a day hasn't gone by. I love you and I'm so happy for you and everything you've achieved with your new life and career. We'll get through the tough stuff together.
Sara- Well you and I owe it to our moms. Without them I can't say for sure that we'd end up meeting at a company Xmas party and you'd end up teaching me how to ice skate on the front patio of a weird house haha. I love you for coming out and visiting me in Cali. I know I told you again and again, but I loved every second of having you living with us. It was a flashback to our 13 yr old selves again! You and I going through my closet together, styling outfits, me forcing you to take clothes, all said and done I was so so so sad to see you go on Saturday night. I love you for your spirit to not settle for anything and to go after your passions. I want you to know that I'm here to support you from now till forever.
Maddie- When I think back about Chapman I think about my crazy career path and ultimately finding you. I don't know what I would've done without you. I know you know this, but I wished we lived together for all four years, just so I could've had even more of you. You're that special balance to me. From our first conversation I knew that you were my person. I knew that we were going to be lifelong friends. We've been through a lot separately and together and I can't wait to share the rest of our lives with one another. I know there are amazing things in store for you and I am so frackin proud of you for being one of the strongest people I know in this world. You kick-ass and take names while wearing sky high Louboutins ;). I love you bella.
Natooshka- I can't believe it's our two year anniversary haha. I met you right when I needed a girlfriend the most. I remember thinking: "Gosh this girl is too darn cool...I need to be her friend."Thank you for being so loving, spontaneous, inspirational, and just being my best friend. We have been on so many crazy adventures in just two years...I'm so excited for even more of them in the future. I know you've started a new chapter in your life, but I know that we'll never actually be that far apart from each other. Distance ain't got nothing on us! I know that one day we'll be together again starting our interior design firm ;). ps: I'm going to really miss being weird with you...xoxo
One of my favorite quotes:
"True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side."

We are all in different places in our lives and in this world at large, but I'll always been here for you guys when you need it most just like you have been for me. Cheers to lifelong friends.
