Life is like....

I am a person who becomes addicted to anything having to do with pop culture. It could be music, television, movies, celebrities, etc. It almost become an obsession...hahaha!!! Most of the time when I find myself liking a new television show it is because of the friendship and the commroderie that exist between the characters. It is something usually I can relate to and something I also miss at times.
I started thinking about all my friends and where we are all at now. I guess I never really understood the true meaning of friendship until I moved away. And that is probably not necessarily true, but it has just been intensified since moving to Cali. The craziest thing is that we are all growing up now. We all have drama in our lives, but each of our drama is different than the other's. And yeah, it would be awesome in a "Hollywood type way" to see your friends at the coffee shop everyday and discuss the trials and tribulations that are occurring at that moment. That would be amazing. I would honestly love that. But at the same time I have realized that I don't need to talk or see people everyday to know they love me. I don't even need to live in the same state as them to love them. And that to me is almost even greater than having my best friend living down the street from me. Yes, it gets hard at times and there are those moments when I could really use my posse. I could really go for a beer or two with a friend not in California. But this cannot be the case.
And I also have learned how to deal with the speed bumps that we hit along the way. You go through life and you have your low points and you wonder when you will be okay and then one day you wake up and you really are okay. And you wait for the next speed bump to come along in your life. I have learned to always look forward to something. I always think of something in the future to get me through the coming months. It could be two weeks away or it could even be two years away, but there is always something there. Like, when I moved out here I looked forward to when my family would be visiting me in December and January. And after that was over I looked forward to my trip back to Colorado. And now, I look forward to my birthday and what I might possibly be doing. It seems cheesy and lame but it works I promise you. Also, find things throughout the day that make you laugh or smile. It might be a thought, a picture, a song, a person, and so on. I live to laugh. Laughter is everything to me. I literally get a kick out of everything. And it is healthy and it makes me not take things so seriously all of the time. I enjoy life most of the time because of this.
Anyhoo, that's enough of my preaching. I just felt good today and I wanted to share it with you all. There is so much to see and so many people to meet. I don't want to miss out on that and I don't want anyone else to either.
