First off, let me just say I have some amazing friends. I'm at a place where I've truly come to realise that some of the most important things in life, and probably the biggest factor in happiness are your relationships with other people. And I have been so blessed in that department. Living in New York City and following your dreams is a difficult, and often lonely conquest. So you can forget just how unalone you really are (and yes, I just made up a word!). I re-discovered just how amazing the people in my life are last year when I was going through a tough time. Some I had known for years, others only months, and some for only weeks.
But this post is for one friend in particular. My best good friend (see Forrest Gump), Miss Sandira Reddy.
She went through a tough time a year ago too. I won't go into her business here (even though she knows it's the side effect of being best mates with a writer!) but she was at a low point. The beautiful thing here is that she too was also able to see through the tears, past the pain, and know in the midst of it that she 'would be fine'. It was at that time she happened to paint a pair of Chucks with a 'Twilight' theme which winged it's way to a 'Twilight' blog and now, one year later, she is a self made business woman running her own company. But the most important and inspiring part of the equation is that she is making a living doing what she loves. And for anyone going through a hard time - it will change. You just have to want it to.
So this post is for her. To let her know that she's amazing and inspirational. But that goes way, way beyond the creation of her company 'Canvas Warriors'. It's mainly because she's an incredible person and the best friend a person could have. Love you!
PS.
There's a lot I could say about Canvas Warriors (custom Converse, jewellery, hoodies etc) but go see for yourself!
