What do I mean by people? Well, to be more specific…The people who do us wrong, but essentially teach us how to be strong. The people who unconditionally love us. The people who motivate us and consistently push us to do better and improve ourselves. The people who are there to back us up in times of need. The people whom we are financially dependent on. The people whom we call family. The people who have seen us through our best and worst times. The people whom we thought we could depend on. The people who inspire us. The people whom we share our lives with and show our vulnerabilities to. The people who help us grow, develop and get through life.
Last week Tuesday, I found myself frolicking in the snow with my some of my fellow honours class mates… Class mates who are competitive, always working hard and who have been extremely stressed and anxious about present assignments [myself included]. Yet, this one joyous occasion upon which snow fell in the country, managed to bring together a very diverse class. It was on this day that everyone just put aside the fact that we all are swamped with work, put aside the seriousness and anxiety that the current month has brought upon and managed to come together and really enjoy one another’s company. It really brought upon feelings of contentment for me and made me realise that it is these class mates that have helped me in becoming the person that I need to be, it is these class mates that have seen me through some of my best and worst moments this year and it is these class mates that I will never forget as part of my university experience and memories.

Not only have my present class mates been important in the discovery of finding myself and figuring out life at the moment, but I have certainly witnessed who the people are that I can depend on and who the people are that are supporting me and truly have my best interests at heart. You all know who you are and I thank you for being there. Additionally, given this past weeks Women’s Day celebrations, it has made me thankful for all of the special ladies in my life, as well as my family who have shown and provided unconditional love and support throughout some of the toughest times.
The point of this post? To recognise the fact that every person whom we come to meet in our lives, whether significant or not and regardless of the role that they have played, has some sort of impact on us. To serve as a reminder that it is both obstacles, as well as victorious moments in our lives that help towards shaping us to become the people that we presently are. So, I thank the people that have been a part of my life, whether you have made a positive or negative impact on me, you made me into a stronger person and you helped in shaping me into the person that I have become today. #forthelove
