Treated myself today to this cutsie little sundae.
Normally my post are mainly on things Ive learned. They say
  "on the road to riches, stop and take pictures because life's not about where you end up, but what you've learned along the way"
So this blog is kind of like my pictures of life along the way. 
Over this past weekend, I was surrounded with 42 of my very amazing friends. I never thought it was possible for 42 ppl to come together and truly love each other. One of them made the statement,
"We didn't become friends, we became family."
He was so right. They are my family.
This past year has been one of the most difficult and challenging years Ive ever been through. Many times I felt so alone and lost in this crazy thing we call life.
However, this past weekend I learned something.
It took a 28 hr bus ride and 5 days with these 42 very amazing people to realize that
no, life will not always be tulips and daisies, and often the rain is going to pour, but what life does do, is in those really crazy moments, it sends us butterflies and rainbows
to remind us that even through darkness, beauty still lives.
They are my butterflies and rainbows.
& they make life worth living.
They never judge me, they always listen.
We all go through the same things and thats a good thing to know.
We cry together, we laugh until we can't breathe, we disagree just like family.
& create the most indelible memories together .
We teach each other that life is not as bad as it seems
and no matter how hard things may get
"Its fine..."
So when you reach those low moments in life, step away for a second & look around
Somewhere, I promise, your butterflies & rainbows are there...waiting :)

you are AMazinG


Its so amazing to see actually see and feel yourself growing up.
Everyday new things happen
& everyday another lesson is learned..
When i start getting beside myself, something comes and humbles me.
I want to simply live
& be happy
& spread happiness and laughter.
I noticed that sometimes we get so lost 
and we let things have the best of us.
& at times we feel like the entire world is falling right on top of our heads...
but the best peace is found in chaos. 
Stop and smell the flowers.
wiggle your toes
lay in the grass and stare endlessly into the sky
count the stars
At times we may not feel good enough
but trust me, you are amazing.
you are so unique and you were put here for a reason
just relax 
the universe is unfolding just as it should.
& you have a right to be here.
"When life says, 'Give up' hope whispers, 'Try it one more time.'"
with all my love :)
