So happy. So lucky.

As I sit here in my room and listen to music, my mind falls back into the familiar place of thinking about how lucky I am to live the life that I do, and how lucky I am to have the people as my company. My friends are my family, not a day goes by where I don't reflect on how much I love each and everyone of them, and how they inspire me to be a better person and to make more of myself. There isnt a single one of them who does not offer something amazing to our family. Whether it be spiritual, musical, physical, emotional or mere entertainment, our family wouldnt be complete without them. Last night I told Matty that our family spoils each other too much, but in the best way possible. I honestly dont believe that everyone understands the energy and connection that we all have together. Allison told me over a year ago, "When a group of people can heal one another just by loving, that is truly something amazing. All I know that this is our family for life, we are all great people, tryin to make each other greater," and that is the truth. We cant come around one another with out smiling or feeling that everything is as perfect as it can be for the moment. Each day we spend together, which is everyday, we become closer and closer, and its almost frightening because there will be a point in time, where we all go in our own directions. Some of us may go together or come together in different places at different times, yet, no matter what or where ever life may take us, we all take a little bit of each other with us, and know that we arent too far away.
I just found this quote, "What makes us different, the experiences we live," and our family, we are different. The things we have done together can barely even describe the ties that those experiences have created between us. We have seen and felt things that most people could not even imagine, but we did... and when we can look across at each other, smile, and know that we are feeling the same thing completely through ourselves, it's something magical.... my family is magical, and god I love them.
A part of our family, is Silo. Four of our friends who are so musically talented, that this past weekend, they brought most of us to tears--- as they played so magnificently, in the most unbelievable setting, filling us with such happiness, every chord- striking emotions that made us just want more, along with everyone else. To watch a band grow, from the start, their obstacles and progress make you that much more proud of them... because they are truly amazing people and musicians. They will make it, they already are in so many ways, and all we all want to do is help them succeed.
I could type forever, about the days we have had, the pictures we have taken, but sometimes--- those moments are best kept in memory, left as perfect as they are, for me to reflect on, and smile.
