It was an end of a decade, but a start of an age.

A typical Monday night. I am sitting on my extremely small couch  listening to Taylor Swift's new album, Speak Now. If you don't have it go out and buy it! It is extremely magical. I don't know how she does it but I connect with these songs because she has the ability to write songs about my life. This album has matured since her self titled debut, Taylor Swift. Her third album is much less country but I still am in love with it. It consists of songs about John Mayer, Joe Jonas, and Taylor Lautner. Even Camilla Belle aka the home wrecker gets a shout out from miss swift. My favorite songs are enchanted, long live, and last kiss. But frankly, I'm in love with every single song on this album. They remind me of past boyfriends, flings, and boys I just wish would notice with me. Usually, my love life consists of the latter. I think the reason why I cope with these songs is because Taylor is my age, writing songs about her life which consists of love and boys. Taylor isn't my only form of therapy when it comes to boys.


One of my best friends, Monica, is my rock. She is always there for me to vent to or just talk to about anything. I can text her the most random things and she will always reply. No matter how stupid I may seem. She's the one I would call at 2AM when I'm bursting in tears. I trust her with my life. She knows everything about my past relationships or non relationships and never holds them over my head, except for maybe deep lake. She just can't resist on that "funny" moment. Sometimes people have a lack of judgment. I've had my share of drama and Monica was always there to scorn my ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends. Since her 25th birthday is coming up I just wanted to take this time to tell her how much she means to me and I wouldn't be able to live without her.

I guess you could say I have a wonderful support system. I have my family who have always been there to cheer me on, if at graduation or 4-H horse shows. It doesn't matter where I go in life they will always stand by my decisions. At home, I have the greatest friends I could EVER ask for. Emily, Rachael, Jamyn, and Kathryn have been by my side since we were 15 years old. I am so grateful they became friends with me since I was the "new girl". We have had countless moments where I cannot stop laughing when I think about it even 5 years later. I have my wonderful high school friends but also those I've met through Safeway. The ONLY good thing Safeway has given to me was some amazing people. If it's my girls who get me through anything or the boys who would back me up in a fight but also make fun of me continuously. It's like a hobby to them. I'm glad I have met Amanda, Chelsea, Mallorie, and Kristina. Amanda is always there for me when I need a friend and I couldn't ask for more. Chelsea is always there to make me laugh and do crazy things with me. Mallorie and Kristina have always been so nice to be even before we have started hanging out. Every time I go into Safeway they always say hi to me and hug me like they haven't seen me in years, which I love. All of these people in my life get me through and I couldn't ask for more.

Now it is time to get back to work. I have some econ homework to rewrite, read over a chapter, and write out some notes. A relaxing night ahead of me then off to the gym for a work out in the morning.

XO.
