Here is a little back story to mine, Marissa & Maegan's friendship. Marissa and I met in kindergarten and later joined the same Girl Scout Troop. In second grade is when Maegan moved to our school and we all became friends. Fast forward to middle school and in 6th grade we met our other best friend, Mallory. Mallory is currently living her dream in England working in PR and exploring England with her Irish boyfriend. We survived middle school together and later on enjoyed high school together. Although we have all been friends for SO long don't be fooled that it has all been perfect. We've had our share of ups and downs...times where we didn't talk, or really annoyed one another and sometimes wondered if we really would be "friends forever." But every-time something goes down, we always bounce back from it, maybe not right away but we try to work through things. I see so many friendships that seemed to be ones that would literally last forever and 4 years later those people don't even speak anymore so it really makes me appreciate our friendship. We've all gone out and made other friends and experienced new places and new things but those 3 girls will hold a huge part of who I am today because they have literally been there for it ALL. I love that when we're all in the same place it's as if no time has passed since we saw each other last and we just pick right up. Here's a little flashback collage of our friendship.
I've learned to really appreciate my time at home and seeing people that I really miss now that we're not living there. Being away from people and situations you're familiar with can be hard but staying in the same small place forever wasn't for me. Being able to step outside of my comfort zone and see new places is something that has become really important to me and something I think everyone should take advantage of while they have the opportunity.
