I bet some of you are like " Finally Emily!!"...common..what could you possibly be doing that would not give you time to be able to write a post!! And you know what? You are right! I have been slacking on my blogs, and I promise to so better :)
So...wow....this post will talk about Shelly leaving. Yes....sigh....my American friend is gone. It was so bittersweet as she was going off to do fun activities with her bf for 2 weeks (perverts..I know what you are thinking....because I think it too..hehe) I am sad that she is gone, but so happy that she is having an amazing time with Luis and getting to experience so many amazing New Zealand things.
Shelly and I have been travelling together since I got here. To be exact..we were together for 30 days (I knew I was keeping my plane tickets for a reason) I really can't express in words how grateful I feel to have met her and gotten to share that time with her. It's one thing to meet someone online that you don't know at all, and wants to travel with you for a bit ( don't worry- I checked her out good first..and I only took candy from her AFTER 3 days ;) but to meet someone that person and just instantly click with, get along with, have so much. FUN with...now that's an experience:)
If I had to describe Shelly, I could EASILY describe her as one of the nicest people I have ever met. (My Mom is up there in that category :))She has a soft energy to her that you just can't not love. Shelly would give you everything she has, if she knew you needed it- and leave nothing for herself. If I had to say one of her only weaknesses is that she over-gives. She gives and gives to everyone, and sometime leaves herself out in the cold. Thats ok though..it's coming:) She is starting to realize just how friggin amazing she is, and that she deserves the very best. Shelly is funny, and outgoing. When we go somewhere she always knows the right questions to ask to engage people, and is so friggin smart when it comes to everything. ( I was constantly asking her how to spell things..haha) Shelly is caring and mothering. She is so nurturing, and even when we were both stung by bees (she was stung twice that day) through her painful face she squeezed out "are you ok Em"... I fucking love this girl. I think if I had to choose the one main thing that Shelly taught me was patience. She is a very patient girl especially with people....even more so annoying people *coughfrenchielaurencecough* Sometimes I can be quick to judge or get frustrated with people, where she takes the time to talk more, ask more and listen more. I like this about her and would like to channel some of that from her:)
Shelly and become sisters over these past 30 days ( I called her my sister wife). We worked amazing together with everything we did, we respected one another and became really good friends. I couldn't have been luckier to start my trip off with a Gem like her. The Universe did good one this one;)
So I will do a few more posts with spectate things that have happened. A little less a.d.d.so you guys can follow:) actually! that's a lie... They will still be a.d.d....haha. Who am I trying to kid.
But, if you are curious- right now I sit, drinking a cup off coffee looking out at this.......
Feeling grateful:)
Love you all!
