I was recently told that I don’t update my blog enough. So tonight, I thought that I would. (and because I thought of something to write about)
Tonight I spent some great time with some of the people that have made the biggest impact in my life, my Scroll newspaper friends. While we were chatting one of my friends and I got into a conversation about how it is good to hang out with people who know you, and love you for who you are. People who were with you during some of times in your life when you were growing the most and deciding who you really were.
For me, these people were there with me during some of the most confusing parts of my life and with me as I decided what I wanted to do. Because they were there with me for all of those times, I know that no matter what I do or what happens, they are always going to love me.
For the last little while, I have been feeling quite a bit discouraged because I don’t think the people that I spend most of my time with don’t really know me. Or don’t really care to really know me. Or I’ve been talking to some friends I have for a really long time and they’ll comment about me and the way that I used to be so long ago that I don’t even think about it. And I found myself wondering again who I am and if the way these people see me is actually who I am. But spending time tonight with my friends this evening reminded me that I know who I am. I don’t need to question who I am.
I appreciate them so much and am so glad they came into my life.

Katie McPhelpin- I basically love you and totally know what you’re talking about with the whole people who really know you. Nothin’ like shootin’ the breeze in the office and suddenly finding out something about a person you’ve never known before. It’s marvelous and you’re marvelous.
