Looking back at some old pictures made me remember that I am the luckiest, because I grew up with these kids:
I mean, seriously, they're the best. I was blessed to be surrounded kids who are not only amazing people, but also incredible examples to me. I miss these days, but it's even cooler to see the awesome things everyone is doing with their lives now that we're all finally growing up. I have always been change-resistant, but I think the really cool thing about change is that it gives us all the opportunity to appreciate the parts of our life that have passed, and look forward to the things to come. We look at life through the lens of our experiences, and growing up with these people, in beautiful Florida, gives me nothing but hope for the future.
