Girl in the Middle

It's amazing how many friendships I have made in the past five years. We are all so different, yet we have so much in common and it's a cool thing to see us all come together. However, the observer in me can see how our differences pull us in different small groups, which fine...totally...I promise! The interesting thing I notice is how I am always the same girl in the "big" group that I have been all of my life. I am always the girl who can hold a conversation with anyone no matter their walk of life and I LOVE this quality about myself (I hope that doesn't sound weird...me loving myself and all...ha!). I just mean that I'm glad I am comfortable meeting new people and being in diverse groups. I think it opens me up more, it allows me to understand the differences in people, and quite often it allows me to help bring people together who would have otherwise never even spoken to one another.

It's hard sometimes because I don't feel as though I "fit" anywhere in particular, but I think it's better than not having any friends at all:)

I love you all, no matter if we talk all the time or once a month. Know that you are loved for all that you are!!! I embrace the differences in you and me because otherwise this world we live in would be really boring!

That is all...ha!

Sincerely,
Erika

  1. That's a great post and a great quality to possess. I wish I was better at striking up the conversation in the first place. One the conversation starts, I'm good to go, but it's the beginning that's hard!

  2. What do you mean you dont' fit in? You've been family since I met you...I'm hurt...I'm crying inside...really...no really I am.. I would cry on the outside..but then the keyboard would get all wet and stuff.
