In Hiding...

A good friend was visiting from out east a few days ago and she at one point she said "It's easier to hide who you are when you only see someone 2 hours a couple times a week rather than when your with them everyday all day". What a true statement, the less time we spend with someone the easier it can be to front who we really are but once we live with them, it is an exhausting thing and our true selves come out. Our insecurities, our loves, the things that make us unique and beautiful. These are the thing we try to hind from everyone, try to cover up. But they make us who we are.

Yesterday was my birthday. I was dreading the day for so long, and then it came. I realized that day how truly blessed I am. It doesn't matter the things I didn't have, because I had more than enough. I had amazing friends who gave me so much; they gave me their love in the simplest yet most powerful form. It was a simple day, they gave me flowers and cheesecake, and we ate taco salad and watched a movie and it was perfect. These are friends that I see everyday, friends that get the real me happy, sad, and very crazy. The friends that dance and sing with me. The ones I know I can always be me with.

So to all my friends, thank you!
