Friends: cheapest therapists ever

Today has been a good and much needed day with some of my girlfriends. I've been stressed out lately, to say the least. I feel like I have little leprechauns jumping around in my stomach wrecking havoc with my emotions. Why leprechauns...I have no idea. Back to the subject at hand. So much has been on my mind lately that I'm having a hard time figuring it all out.

Today I went on a walk with my good friend Jessica; it was nice to just voice some of the things that have been on my mind lately. I've really realized that it's not good to hold things inside, eventually the things we keep hidden will boil to the surface like Pompeii and all of our emotions will scatter like villagers in unwanted ways. Just having girl talk, while enjoying nature was amazing. I feel so much better talking things out and getting an outsider's opinion. Friends are always great for at least one thing: being a backboard for all the thoughts that we choose to throw at them.

Later in the afternoon, I went to Target and Origin, a super cute coffee shop, with my other friend Dominique. (check out her blog at http://goodfoodgoodhealth.blogspot.com/)
When we got to Target, we parked in front of a light post with this sticker stuck on it:

Boy did it spark a conversation! What is the universe trying to tell us?! Cruel joke God...cruel joke. When we got to Origin, the real girl talk started! Sometimes, the best things in life is sipping a cappuccino with a good friend. It was nice talking to her because it made me realize how similar we are.

I'm so excited about this weekend, I have a good feeling that this weekend will not only be productive (because I have an amount of homework that makes Mt. Everest look like an ant hill), but it will also be a weekend of learning more about myself and I'm really going to try to learn more about what I want in the future and in the present.
