It's a First!

So this is my first blog. A lot of people have been surprised that I don't already have one. I tend to write a lot. That's what I want to do for a living. Write, travel, and do service. I would love to join the Peace Corps, once I graduate from Lesley, and go to South Africa. That has been one of my dreams for about six years now.
So... to state the obvious, this past week was the week of Thanksgiving. I went home from school to visit my family and see my friends. I never really got to tell anyone that I was thankful for them. I guess with my family it's kind of an unspoken things. They don't do the mushy stuff. And the other thing is it's kind of cliche to send someone a text saying "I'm thankful to have you in my life". But I want to say it. I want to reach out to my best friends (even though they have heard it a million times) and say how much I love them and how much they mean to me. I want to tell them how they have saved me. I want to tell my family that I am thankful to have them, even if they do make fun of me all the time. It's what every human being should do around now. So here we go...
I love you. I always will. You know that. I will never leave your life, please never leave mine. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met you all.
More to come <3
