Missing boo.

IT'S CRAZY WHERE BLOGGIN HAS TAKEN ME..

As a blogger, I've always written for one thing, and one thing only. Myself. That isn't meant to sound ignorant, I just never envisioned where it could take me.

Here I am. Ten years into this madness and it has brought me such great opportunities, and such great people. One of those people, include Perla.

All the way from Houston, Texas..! A love for hip hop and music has taken us to both New York and California, and I owe it all to blogging. That shit is crazy to me! I'm so thankful for this girl. Take two writers who have the same love for music and you're on to something good.

Today is her birthday. Hectic schedules and living in different cities prevent us from seeing each other every day, but I can promise to keep her in my life forever. She is one of the most amazing people to ever grace my life. She has the soul of an angel, the mind of a creative, and most importantly, we click more than the hipsters who hit refresh on our websites.

All my love, Perla. You have yourself a wonderful birthday. I look forward to every chance we are re-united. XOXOXO, beautiful!

ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS.

There aren't many things that have touched me as much as this one. There is something so surreal about having an audience that reads your words and actually feels them. There is something even more surreal about that same audience connecting to you and going out of their way to try and heal you.

Well. Let me tell you how Kim from Texas did that.

This girl wrote me the most touching, heart-warming, thoughtful card I have ever received. Along with that, she included a simply beautiful piece of jewellery. Her words stated that it was a heart so my cousin could be kept close to mine, his birthstone was also on the chain, and that the angel wing reflects him always being my angel in the sky. I cried for days. No one has ever done anything so wonderful for me. No one has ever been so thoughtful, so sweet. This is the absolutely most perfect piece of anything I have ever gotten.

For that, I shall treasure this little piece of silver for the rest of my life.

I can't say thank you enough. I really can't. If I could find some way to thank you every second for the rest of my days, it still wouldn't be enough.

My dearest Kim, thank you for being a reader. Thank you for reading. Thank you for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You truly are one of the most treasured people to ever step into my little cyber world, and believe me when I say, you opened the door and made it a whole lot bigger. I can't wait til the day we meet. I owe you a trillion hugs.

Xoxo, all my love, Houston stand up!
