Today was one of the best days I've had in a very long time. We went to DHS in the morning. It was one of those morings where you really had to kick yourself to get going. But then we were off! We hit up all the favs. We even visited some power rangers. *my favorite thing to do at studios* Wesley even got pulled into the car by the rangers to get a group picture!! And then we had lunch at Mama Melrose. Of coarse, I had to cut it short and leave for a few hours because I had to go to class. But by the time I got back, Mere was there and we rode rockin' before waiting for Fant!
Story time with Essick
So tonight, the 9 year old little girl we were with told me she liked to read. But not to tell anybody. I asked why not. And she replies; "I'm known as the dancer girlie type, and if anyone found out I liked to read I won't be so popular." I was just shocked to begin with... How girls grow up and the level of self confidence a kid has got to have now days to make it through adolence. I respond with, "It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. You just be you, and people will like you." -"But people see me as popular..." and I cut her off to make a Hannah Montana reference to how everyone loves Hannah because shes famous. But people don't look twice at Miley. Miley is the SAME person as Hannah and just as cool, but some people don't see that. And if they don't, they are not worth your time!
Sage advice, I hope she listend, learned and remembers.
