This summer was the first time I truly met my people. The people who’d lift me up when I’m down, who’d have my back through everything, and the ones who stayed through the ups and downs.

I can’t pinpoint the location of my people because even though we all live miles apart, each and every one of them can be found in my heart. 

I’ve always had trouble making friends. Always been the girl where people can count on me but I can’t count on them.

And yet this summer I found myself at my lowest and there they were, the people who brightened my day. The people who made the hard times worth the extra fight. 

I think it takes time to find your people, but no matter the struggle, they are out there.

I might’ve struggled to find them but it was just a matter of time and fate. The more you keep going the better it will be.

So don’t stop because it’s hard, keep going because it challenges you in new ways.

And like my favorite quote says, “Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you

Take heed when things get hard and don't you ever turn around

You'll find someone, someday, somewhere that grows you to the clouds”
