"I get by with a little help from my friends"

It's kinda of like a born again type of thing....
I read about Love about a week ago before I went to bed. A book by Leo. The next morning I woke up in a wonderful mood. I'm continuing to read, and wake up in wonderful moods. I'm proud and content with the person I am. I'm so thankful for the people in my life right now. My friends are amazing. Yes, I miss some friends in Lowell, and Florida, but I have good friends around here, and I have people that I can text, call, skype and stay in touch with. It's great to feel like you're sharing you're day with someone. Wether it's a person you are hanging out with, or just talking to about stuff.

Yesterday I sat on a bench staring out at the Boston Harbor with Logan airport behind it. My best friend was next to me. We were just talking and taking it all in. Every time a plane flew off I said bye. I thought about how many people where on each flight. Wondered where they were heading and why they were going there. Excited to go on a vacation, or flying back towards loved ones struggling with heavy hearts. Some probably felt so alone. I remember the last time I was flying back to Florida when I lived down there. With about a half hour left in the flight, I took my headphones off. I started having a great conversation with the gentleman next to me. Talking about Florida, where we were from, and sharing experiences in life. It was nice. I decided that when I go back to Florida in Jan, I'm really going to try to have a conversation with someone on the flights. I talk so much about how I want to reach out, share love, and know others. I don't practice as much as I preach, and that's something I'm trying to work on.

I know I'm not perfect. I know I have hurt many people in my life. I know I have done things that I shouldn't have. Things that have hurt myself, others, and made this world a little less of a good place. But I also know that tomorrow is a new day. And that gives anyone and everyone the chance to be a leader. To step up and start out a new, fresh start. I wake up to the singing of the words "It's a new day" every morning.

I have very recently learned to accept that sometimes we just need to let certain people out of our lives. Not everyone on this earth can connect nor live in harmony with each other. People experience life in different ways, and chance at different paces. Sometimes it doesn't all add up. This can hurt to accept, but it can make us all healthier individuals. I remember a quote that Leo had heard, "If we can love each other, can we at least not hurt?". Is that beautiful to live by or what? I think so.

There are beautiful people around you with kind hearts that can share the joys, pains, questions and all parts of life in harmony with you. Or at least only a half step off. But it still sounds pretty good. Hug hard. Smile even when you're not sure if you should. Have hope. Live with passion in your heart.
I want to make this world a better place and fill it with more love. Let's make this journey into a movement that will be remembered forever.
