Lean on me.

In speech 103 we have been discussing interpersonal relationships such as family, friends, romantic relationships, etc etc. It really made me think about my personal relationships and what they mean to me. I just read a post in another blog about friends, and it really made me want to write about how much everyone means to me.

Momma: My mom is the one person I could absolutely never leave or live without. She is my very best friend and I look up to her so, so much. I never really understood how people could have bad relationships with their mothers. I've realized it is because I am blessed with one of the best moms in the history of the world. Honestly. She is the most amazing person, and she does not even try. My love for her is something that I cannot put into words. My heart swells when I think of her, and I cannot wait to go home and see her again.

Daddy: My dad is probably the coolest man I know. He has taught me so many life lessons and I am so grateful to have such guidance in my life. He and Momma always talk about how they do not feel like they prepared us for the real world, but I do not think they could have done a better job. You only learn as much as you want to learn, and they tried to teach us. The rest is for us to figure out and they are doing a wonderful job of being supportive. Dad is such a hard worker and I can tell that he really cares about his career, us [his family], and himself. He constantly makes me laugh, and I do not know where I would be without him.

Michelle: My older sister is ridiculous. In a good way, mind you! She is goofy and fun and smart, and she always keeps my butt in line. If it were not for her, I would be in a lot of trouble all the time! Being sisters, we have our moments, but I would give anything for her. I am definitely psyched about the wedding, and I know her and Mikey are perfect for each other. It makes me so happy that she has such a sweet love story and wants me to be part of it.

Seth: Guh, where to start. My baby brother is a HUGE part of my world. I hate being away from my family, but sometimes I miss Seth the most. [Sorry guys. I love you all a LOT!!] Being a teenager is tough, I have been through all of that, and I try my absolute hardest to keep him in line. We do get annoyed with each other sometime, but I know when there is a problem and I usually know how to fix it. I remember one time my senior year of high school and he texted me to tell me something that was bothering him. You know, freshman drama between girls and guys. When he told me what was up, I freaked. The girl causing the problems was actually in my P.E. class with me at the time, and I wanted to set her straight then and there. Instead, I just told her to knock it off, but if I could have I would have hurt her for hurting my brother. Its just a protective thing, but I love him. It breaks my heart that he's growing up, but at the same time I'm glad to be there with him.

Amanda: She might as well be my other sister. We are cousins, but we are so much closer than that. She is my very very very best friend, and we go through everything together. She constantly makes me smile and laugh, and when she is sad, it makes me sad. We can always count on each other to help with life's random problems. I am crazy happy that she has found Jason because I can tell that he really makes her happy. She is a smart, gorgeous, wonderful girl who has dreams and ambitions. We are kind of the same person, I guess. ;]

Cortney: Oh man. Me and this girl have been through everything together. She is definitely one of my best friends, and I don't think anything can break that. When we're together everything is so care free, and we read each other's moods and finish each other's sentences. I cannot tell you how many times we have just sat looking at bumper stickers and youtube videos and laughing so hard we cry. College has definitely made us closer.

Adam: Ooooh, this boy. Meeting him was a total accident, but it is one of the best accidents that has ever happened to me. He makes me smile when I don't want to and makes me laugh when I think that I can't. I always tell him about how I feel like a goofball for walking around campus and smiling at nothing but thoughts of him. People must think I'm crazy. I have never felt anything so significant than the feelings I have for him. It always feels like a lot of obstacles are in our way, and that eventually our relationship will stop getting better. Every time I think it is reaching a plateau, it starts all over again. The thumping in my chest, the smile on my face. Even right now as I'm typing this my brain is going nuts. For speech today everyone had to write a letter to their "significant other". I thought it was going to be hard, but once I sat down at my laptop all of the feelings I have got put into words. My letter turned out longer than it should have been. =/ (Story of my life.) I definitely could not have asked for anyone better than Adam. Besides, how many guys willingly take their girlfriends to Twilight and read the book? Yeah, not many. =] XOXO

Nathan: Geez. I have been through thick and through thin with this kid. We have our moments and our phases and our fights and our feelings, but that never ends up getting in the way like we thought it would. I didn't realize how much I'd miss him at school until he moved 6 hours away from me. I just can't wait till Thanksgiving Break to see this kid!

Chole: Nichole Binder. Holy cow. We have grown apart since we both went our seperate ways, but I often still consider her my best friend. We've got a really cool relationship, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even though we don't talk often, I am still always there for her, and her for me. She is one person I can never give up on.


Everyone has some sort of significance in my life. If I did not write about you, please do not take offense. You are part of my life. You are significant.

XOXO,
Meg
