A Long Day Out

1/5/2015

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today was a really great day… I went out with a friend who I haven’t hung out with in a while. We didn’t have big plans for the day, and we didn’t do anything special, but we just hung out and got to talk for a long time.

I’ve never been the kind of person who goes out with friends a whole lot, but I definitely went out more with people in high school than I have in college. So when I do happen to go out for a day, it’s kind of nice to talk and laugh and not worry about anything for a little while. We just had a good, fun, long day out together. We drove all over creation, went to a super late lunch after getting lost for at least 20 minutes, and then walked around a bunch of stores until we tired ourselves out. There was really no point to anything that we did today. But it was great.

Sometimes you just need to let go, have fun, and not have a specific plan for something. I’ve always been that girl who wants to plan an outing to the mall five weeks in advance so I know what to prepare for. It can’t always be like that though. I made plans late last night, left the house at 9:30 this morning, and then just let the day roll out as we went along. And for once it was really nice to not have complete control over every little detail. It was fun to just let go and relax. Sure, I’m still the 21-year-old who checks in with her mom whenever I get to a new destination (to which I get “you’re 21, do whatever you want, have fun,” in reply of course), but at least I’m out and about.

What do you like to do when you catch up with an old friend? My friend and I are both the oldest in families with little kids, so we like to talk about things that we have in common with our families. What things do you have in common with your friends?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
