It's amazing how people can affect your life so much without you even knowing it. I just recently found out that my sisters best friend from university is a lesbian and has a girlfriend. They both went to a Christian University...so i was kind of shocked when I added her to myspace and saw her orientation. Once I actually thought about it i wasn't shocked at all it all made sense I was probably just to young to observe things. Sarah was and will always be my idol. She has one of the best personalities I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. She is laidback, hilarious and friends with everyone. She is naturally pretty and has long beautiful curls.
She is living her dream in Chicago...she's in a band that tours, she works at a funky t-shirt making company, where people come in and tell them what band shirt they want then they just create an original band shirt.
In her last e-mail she gave me the best advice because I was telling her how I was confused about what to do in the future whether I should follow my sisters and attend a Christian University or persue hair styling...my life would be completely different depending on which career i chose.
this is one of the things she told me and it's so true...
"it's hard to not know what you are going to do, but honestly, i wouldn't worry about it too much. whatever you choose to do...follow your heart and don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't be. that's for you to decide, or figure out even. just make sure that you are the best person you can be and that you are happy. i mean, i'm almost 30 now, and my parents still don't think i am doing anything with my life...which, by most people's standards i'm not. but that is just sad. i love playing music and actually feeling something as opposed to a day in day out lifestyle of incessent work. it feels good to free myself from the standards, i guess."
I am so happy she is back in my life...and I know I will never be young again visiting them at university and staying up all night in their dorm room but we all grow up and I hope I can stay in touch with her.
at the end of her last e-mail she told me that i was always the sister she never had...

maybe this is where i learnt my love for being dirty.
