Adoration.

A year ago I received a letter.

This letter was powerful, friendly, kind, loving, and overall wonderful. This was a letter to celebrate a wonderful person. Now it's my turn to return the favour.


My longest adult friend,

It's time you know the value of you.
It seems like just yesterday you called me after you heard about Teina’s death.  And it wasn’t long ago we sat in my car on your birthday and you sat there as I cried, and was angry, we talked about life, love, religion, me hating boys, and more so we talked about Teina. It wasn’t long after that after losing my grandpa I looked up during my speech to see you there, supporting my painful year yet 
again. I don’t think you quite understand the rock you have been to me not only this past year, but basically all my milestones. You’ve been the official Shay cheerleader for so long it’s time I cheer you on for a bit.

It amazes me to see how caring and selfless you’ve become. How you’ve managed to keep your fun, and light hearted lifestyle while graduating university and getting a job. It’s still amazing how you can do, wear, and say whatever you’d like without a care in the world of what anyone else thinks. I’m blown away that you have a nice car and drive a standard! These things have brought me closer to myself as I’ve seen you develop and find yourself among the world of Lethbridge and as you’ve consistently been someone I look up to, turn to, and rely on. Your word is your bond as you say you will do something, be somewhere, or try something you are there putting in the effort, and that’s wonderful as there aren’t many people in this world that do that.

I love our friendship, and how I can rely on you, I hope you can feel the same way about me. I love your sense of humor and how you brighten up a room. I love the way that when someone is with you they feel like the most important person in the room because you make time for us. People mean more than the internet to you. I love that you don’t expect me to be on my A game all the time, but more so, I so enjoy how we've always been around in each other's lives, whether it be through Facebook stalking, visits, texts, or dance parties, we are there. 


Today is all about you, because it’s the day you came into this world to change it. But more so if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be me. I wouldn’t be where I am today, and I know I wouldn’t be who I am. So I give all the celebration high fives, funny pick up lines, and and awkward winks to say that I am so grateful you not only came into this world, but that you came into my life.

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Do I Have What it Takes?

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo...

In the Daylight

! I'm just a girl sitting here, wondering about the mysteries of the universe. I sat outside on a starry night under the blood wolf super moon waiting to feel the change the air has inside of it. "I'm searching for authentic, true, and loyal people who deeply love me." I whisper to myself as my shutter clicks. I felt the change I was seeking start to take root, I knew it would soon grow, but I was not prepared for what it would bring. I was not prepared to have you standing in the sun. There was no way I planned that there would be no more shadows surrounding who you were, and more so who I was in relation. The change in the air, brought in the truth I needed to visualize what was happening. Since that moment a shift has happened, to me, in clarity. It was like the blinders were ripped off and I was thrust in to the brightness of the noon day sun. I could see everything, there's no shadows, no more questions, no more doubt, only knowl...
