A Friend, A Mentor, An Example

This is one of my best friends of all time. Her name is Paige and she is AMAZING!!!

When her and I first met I really didn't think we would become as close as we did. Again, I was CRAZY and Paige, she was...one of the most proper, reserved and well spoken girl I had ever met.

I think I was a little too much for her at first and all the girls in our apartment thought that we would get along the least but we proved them wrong.

Our friendship began with philosophical discussions in our living room where we discussed the deepest feelings of our souls, our issues with politics, boys, school, and mean people.

She taught me how to cook, how to clean, and even helped me to write better.

She inspired me everyday to be a better person, to be more educated.

She still does that.

I recently had lunch at our old spot which is now Costa Vida (oh, how I miss Bajio!).

We swapped stories about life and shared our concerns.

She was inspired today with her thoughts and feelings. She told me some things I needed to hear and helped me to get focused on the changes I need to make in my life without even knowing it. She didn't preach or give me advice, she just shared her experiences that resonated in me.

I left feeling happy and excited to continue on my journey here in Rexburg.

These are the type of friends people should have.

I love this girl.
