Sappy September: ALEC

ALEC

Man oh man...Alec Baldwin! You mean so much to me, how do I put this all into a post?! To start things off, I will say that this kid right here is literally my "go-to" person for all of my juicy tales of life. We can literally talk for hours about the most ugly things and not feel any shame! I guess everyone just needs that one friend that they can be extremely ugly with and have NO care in the world. Alec is my go to person for ALL of my social life. We are literally in sync about everything and sometimes it just scares me! It's crazy when someone is already aware of how you're feeling, or what you're about to say...it's crazy cause that doesn't happen everyday. Alec is a diamond in the rough. He doesn't realize how amazing he is as a person, or just how much he influences my life, but he is definitely on the right path. Food for thought: Only surround yourself with people who have the same level of ambition as you, and can help you better yourself. Alec achieves just that. While we have our differences -- we are one in the same. He is literally a brother to me. The younger brother I never had! I always smile inside when we have deep conversations because I feel myself teaching him things and then him teaching me even more. It is quite literally a humbling experience and I wouldn't change it for the world. Alec has filled the hole in my life that was missing for SO long. He has become that guy that is just always there, ready to laugh with you about life and see the greater things. This is why I love him so much and I would never want him to leave my life, he is consistent and perf. 

What is my biggest lesson learned from Alec?

Alec has taught me to accept the more ratchet side of my self. That sounds like a bad thing, but everyone needs to feel comfortable with who they truly are -- Alec helped me do that. He has taught me that it doesn't matter what people think of you, as long as you are living your life the way you see fit, you're doing it right! Alec and I both have our dark pasts, but here we are, together, at the same school, trying to live the best life possible. I can't help but feel like our friendship has been written WAY before our time, and I am beyond excited for what we will do together to change the world. Alec...I love you, you're my young padawan, my great friend...pretty much family. Thank you for being yourself and allowing me to invade your life! Stay amazing, and "just throw it back!"
