Good People

I like to think that the people that come into our lives encounter us not by chance but by the mere reason that destiny had long ago decided that at that given moment our paths were meant to meet. I LOVE THAT. Isn't that kind of exciting to think about? Our paths are meant to cross at a specific moment in time.

I'm packing all my stuff because I am getting ready to move back to Ann Arbor, Michigan where I will be starting a new job August 3rd. I am incredibly excited and surprisingly calm about the whole thing. It's almost unreal, I had three weeks to get myself ready for the move, but everything has fallen into place so perfectly and it just feels right. After the uncertainty I have been through these past few months, I have a really good feeling about this change. New start.

In all this...I have been packing and finding little things here and there that remind me of wonderful people. Things that remind me that we really do need each other to get through life and that remind me that there really are good people in this world.
My favorite thing in the world is when you see someone you haven't seen in forever and you walk away thinking...wow, I really miss that person in my life. I think feelings are mutual 99.00% of the time.

Super random but there was a guy that I met in college while I was in art school. We had a lot of classes together, so we were familiar with each other but we were never really friends. In fact...he was kind of a douche (classy word...I know), not liked by many...I kind of stayed away from him now that I think about it. But anyway... he was a really talented writer. He was one of those people that you could totally see through the cockiness and see that he was really someone just dying to be recognized and applauded for his talent. When you are in art school, you are criticized and scrutinized for everything you do, every second of the day. Even better...you start to think that you know who deserves to be there and who doesn't. I never gave him credit for being in the art school but I always admired his talent for writing. I randomly ran into his blog this morning and I am dying to see the day the world discovers him. I am rooting for him all the way because that is some raw, innate talent and and amazing passion for the film industry.

It was just kind of a good moment of the day. It was good to see that for some people, passion never dies :)

I can't wait to see who I get to meet next and what I will learn from them.
