Today I finally had a chance to work on another “Who Am I” assignment. It was about writing a letter to someone. I liked her prompt to listen to the Brad Paisley song and ended up writing some life notes to myself. It got me thinking. If I really could go back and tell myself something what would I say? Would I try and get myself to change so I wouldn’t have to experience some of the hard things I did? I don’t think I would. Looking at it now, even though it was hard at the time, it completely made me who I was. I wouldn’t want to change that.
I ended up feeling like the biggest thing I would say is: be careful how you treat people. Those are the things I have the biggest regrets about today. Relationships with people that I missed out on for various reasons. It’s all about the people. Nothing else really matters in the end, except for them. 
I still need to realize even now amidst the business of life that it’s still all about the people. I won’t have regrets about anything else in the end. Just about the people.

So Shalae, just curious, who asked you to dance in the 7th grade? :)
Brenyon Larson. I don't know if you even knew him.
Another great post Shalae. I, too, have been thinking a lot about the value of relationships lately. Sometimes they are work, but it is definitely worth the effort! And yes, nothing else matters as much. :)
I really enjoyed this post! It is fun reading about you! I also did vote for you. I hope you get that fabric!
What is up with those Nields box boys?
