| Me and Emily |
For my first post, I thought it would be fitting to express my gratitude for some of the most important people in my life– my friends. This weekend, we celebrated our college graduation in a night of swimming, Can Jam, and general revelry.
An unexpected addition to our group was Wesley's longtime family friend, Emily, visiting him from France. Having studied abroad in France and being conversational in the language, I was excited to talk in French again.
Little did I know that Emily was one of the most open, easy-going people I've ever met. With a bright laugh always readily available on her lips, she and I instantly connected in a frenzy of bilingual communication.
In general, I find it pretty easy to talk to people I don't know well. I'm not shy by any means. But only after a couple of minutes, it felt as if Emily and I had been friends for a long time.
It's funny how life works out. There are times where I feel as if the mistakes I've made are insurmountable; that I wish I could go back in time and start over. But then something as simple as a new friendship– one that only could have arisen out of a precise order of circumstances– will validate the difficult times and lend hope to the future.
