Well, we're officially in full wedding mode over here! Just a couple of weeks to go, and I know it's going to be an incredible time. Naturally, a couple of unexpected things have popped up and I've been proud of myself for knowing that I can't change these things and adapting appropriately (if you know me, you know that I tend to get stressed easily, so this is a big step in the right direction!). Honestly, there are so many components that go into this one day, that there's no way everything is going to go 100% as planned. At the end of the night, though, CP and I will me mawwwied! Couldn't ask for anything better.
As I was browsing Etsy for a cardholder, I got distracted and wandered over to the Washington Post. This article was on the front page, and I really couldn't stop welling up. Andrew's advice to his camper couldn't have come at a better time. While I know that his family and loved ones are grieving right now, I hope that they are also incredibly proud of Andrew for the obvious impact that he had on those around him.
"Surround yourself with good friends who care about your future. Fall in love with someone. Get your heart broken. And then move on and fall in love again. Breathe life every day like it is your first. Find something that you love to do and never stop doing that thing unless you find something else you love more.
Don't blame others for their mistakes. It makes you weak. You are a strong man who does not need to be weighted down by people who only complain and say negative things. Speak with conviction and believe in yourself because your personal confidence is just as important as your education."
-Andrew Pochter
