Pretty People Don't Cry

We've all heard the saying about how you are who you hang out with, and how if you surround yourself with positive people, positive things will happen to you. Well it's true and I'm happy to say that there is not one person in my immediate world that needs removing. I have the most amazing family and friends, and even though we all have those wild hairs that we can't seem to tame, I know that if it came down to it we'd all have each others backs. 

With that said, when any of those people are hurting, I feel it too. Lately, there has been more sadness, hurt, and sickness than is necessary for certain members of my "perfect imperfect people" group. Whether it is a matter of health or matter of heart, when something isn't how it should be we all feel it. I'm not good with these things. They scare me. And when I see my friends cry, I cry too. 

My senior year of high school after the last pep rally of football season, my (dance)teammates and I all burst into tears because we knew a major part of our life was ending. (If only I knew then what was coming my way) My friend in the band ran over to me and yelled, "Pretty people don't cry! Stop that!" Well, if that's true than I must be a hideous beast! Either way, it's no surprise I'm a crier. And nothing makes me want to cry more than knowing my people aren't ok. 

Sooooooooo! Without naming anyone in particular, yall know who yall are. This one is for you. Let's hold hands and skip through this shhhhtuff together.
