a thought

{ok, I'm sorry this post is a little rough. I know it's poorly structured and hardly artistic, I just couldn't ignore this little thought any longer.}

People need People.

Seems easy enough to understand, right?

Here's the thing:
It is absolutely impossible to go through your life alone.
Believe me, I've tried it.
It doesn't work, just take it from me and learn from my mistakes. (Seriously, you'll be happier, I swear.)

The cool thing about Life and God is that He places people right when and where they need to be, just so they can bless you and so you can bless them.

There is no possible way I could have made it through Latin last year without Nya.
Or through YW without Nikole.
Or through sophomore year without Kristen, Rachel, and Mark.
Or the summer of 2011 without David and Coleen.
Or through Jr. Year without Krista (mama).
Or through, lets face it, life itself without Emily or Eliza or Morgan or Connor.

So often we rush through our days, not recognizing the beautiful people God has so lovingly placed in our lives.
We brush off human presence and take for granted those who we need the most.

Of course, people change.
And more often than not, they exit and reenter our lives-- but its always when you need them most.

They may not be the same person you needed before, but maybe they're the person you need now.
Hey, maybe they're not; who am i to judge?
Maybe you could go a while without them.

[But here's another thing: truth is, you need those people that hurt you too.
Every heartache makes you stronger. Doesn't it?]

It's weeks like these that remind me how lucky I am to have wonderful people in my life.

I know I don't say it often enough,
But thank you for all you do for me.
I send all my love and gratitude,

your dreamer
