Catching up with friends is such an uplifting experience. Last night I met up with a couple friends for drinks, we started our night at Lola's on Fairfax and ventured to the Palihouse in West Hollywood. It was a very mellow relaxing night, which are always my favorite. I hadn't seen some of these friends since before the holiday and new years, it was so nice to meet up with them and talk about all the new things going on in our lives for the New Year. Surprisingly enough most my girlfriends and I are single, I feel it hasn't been that way in a very long time. So there we were a couple of single girls catching up over a cocktail.
Over the New Year I ventured to S. America. Two friends of mine from High school moved down there for a life changing experience and I figured now is the time to go, it was Summer down there and any place with warmth is a fabulous place to me. The trip was an experience, i felt very tested. Our luggage was lost for 5 days.... need I say more. We made the best of what we had and walked away from this experience learning new things, isn't that what life is all about anyway. I saw a different side of friends and even got a little heartbroken, but I grew from the experience and walked away with a positive drive and I wouldn't change that at all. Its better to see things now and understand them, then be hurt and confused by them later.
Back to catching up with friends, its definitely motivating being around driven people. I love how driven my friends are. They motivate me and keep me going, they push me to succeed in life and achieve any goal I want, cause they believe in me. I am blessed with amazing people in my life who stick by me through the think and thin. These past couple of years have been hard on me, with a very rocking relationship that ended in October, to the ups and downs with certain friends which luckily have mended and started building an even stronger friendship. But I wouldn't change any of it, I grew so much from the past experiences and I have come to appreciate them for what they were and are. In life you have to let go not just forgive, let go of the emotion that you have attached to any negative situation cause that is just wasted energy that will run you down in the end. Just some words of advice, they helped me out and I hope they do the same for you.
Enjoy this beautiful Sunday and I'll leave you with another beautiful saying...
Walk with me, Hold my hand, Grown to know the more I am.
