Hey girls, its Taylor and I get to be the principal blogger... yay! I dont know if I am doing this exactly right but I'm trying. I want to thank Holly for allowing her best friend to speak to us today. I didn't remember her name because I was to caught up in what she was saying. I think today was the day for me to here her because I just felt that my best friend and I are not growing anymore. This is really hard on me because she is my best friend. No we haven't known each other for 10 years actually not even one year but when I met her it felt like we had known each other all of our lives. We have so much in common and then again we have so much that is different.
She has had a hard life and has had a difficult time letting go of stuff that has happened. And I have had a hard time getting her to understand that, that is her past and she has to let that go because it will always bring her back down. She takes almost everything seriously and I have a hard time with this to because I joke around so much. Today in class our speaker really got to me when she said that we have to inspire as a friend. I think that I have found myself. I am confident and I know who I am. Thats not common for many girls our age. But I want to be that friend that inspires. I want to be able to inspire my best friends to be able to find themselves don't try and be like who I want them to be, I want them to be who they are! My best friend recently started dating this boy and it seems like she has changed..... I get a long with the boy but its like she isn't who she was when she was single. I don't know what happened.
Another big thing that I took out of class today was the quote that she used or made up.
"Friendship isn't one big thing, its millions on little things." I love this because I am the type of person to do little things like send a text to someone I haven't talked to in awhile or just leave a sticky note on the mirror for my roommate saying I love them.

Hey. This is Ellie. I just wanted to say that I felt the same way about Holly's best friend. She had a lot of good things to say and I took a lot from it too. Maybe you should talk to your best friend and tell her how you feel. Its good that you know who you truely are and maybe if you do talk to your friend, you can inspire her to find her true self too.
I think that is wierd how Holly's best friends knew what she wanted to speak on and she knew that she was going to help somebody out. I think that she has an awesome motivation to go and inspire other girls to go find themselves. After what she told me about traveling by herself it made me realize why I have to have my "me time". This is when I go off in my own world and just focus on myself. I turn the cell phone off, lock the door, get in the shower(my favorite), and I just focus on me! This is my favorite thing other than napping!
Hi. About your best friend, you have to just think about whats important to you and talk to her. I understand how it is. My "best friend" of 12 years and I have gone through quite a bit...from jealousy when boys consume eachothers time to her pregnancy..we are very different and always have been, but I try to be there for her no matter what and blow off all the little things about her that drive me crazy and just remember that i love her and want her to remember me positivly.
About Holly's best friend...her speech was amazing and incredibly inspiring.
the third comment was Nichole :)
I liked having the guest speaker as well.
Some say that girl friendships are the most rewarding / most difficult. I mean my ex-room mate called me her best friend yet she goes and moves out?
People grow apart and it a sad thing.
Change is inevitable and it suck sometimes.
Just remember to hang on to the memories 'cause they're the only thing that doesn't change when everyone and everything else does.
