Who Influences You?

So since my blog is new, and I haven’t really told anyone about it, I’m going to write about people who influence me to be my very best and then maybe months down the road be like “hey, I wrote about you.” And then show them this. Here we go!

Morgan Mandriota. I’m just going to flat out stay this: we met on Bumble BFF. Yup. Yeah. Mhm. That happened. And I’m so glad it did. There are your typical girls on there, no offense, that are like “OMG, I totally need a group of girls to go to the wineries with and talk about our ex boyfriends over brunch.” That’s not me and Morgan. We are more like boys in the sense that, ain’t nobody got time for that. Anyways, Morgz and I have only been BFFs for 2ish years, however I feel like we just get each other even for the short period of time we've known each other. She is awesome as she is super caring, zen like, has great ideas (especially on how to solve boredom) and is extremely intelligent. She has listened to me vent over and over about not knowing where to go in life and constantly makes sure I am not settling. She is really talented. You should totally get to know her and follow her social media and subscribe to her blog (because it’s way better than mine/I don't even know what I'm doing). I love her and I’m so thankful for the curvy friendship we have. So don’t steal her away from me.

Chelsea Sudaley. I have been best friends with Chels since foreverrrr. Well since we were 13-years-old but it makes me happy knowing I’ve know her more years than I haven’t because I’m so lucky to have her in my life. Chelsea is freaking crazy but in the best way possible. I can always count on her to be there for me no matter what. She is super hilarious and gets in these funky moods where you don’t know what to do with her but say, “You’re so weird.” Mama Suds would agree. Chels has been there for me through the toughest times and always manages to put a smile on my face. Her extremely outgoing personality has allowed her to make friends from many different area codes. She has lived in NY, PA, FL, and NE. I feel like she has zero fears and just goes for it. Chelsea literally found the perfect job for herself: a journalist/reporter. I swear she’s going to run the show in a few years because she is absolutely amazing. I encourage you to follow along her journey because she’s going to be the next hot thing, although she’s already pretty spicy.

Diane Bello. Yes, she is my mom and I am very blessed to call her that. Of course she drives me up a wall sometimes but for the most part, I’ll keep her. I tell her everything, sometimes more than she wants to know. She continuously supports me in whatever I do with zero judgement. My mom grew up with nothing. She always tells my brother and I that all she had in the fridge when she was growing up was white bread and mayo. Although we kind of roll our eyes, it’s impressive to acknowledge where she is today. How she juggled two kids, a marriage, a mortgage, bills, getting her masters, working full time, and being the greatest mom is beyond me. She always said she wanted us to grow up with more than she had, and fortunately we did/do. Now she is Stony Brook University’s Registrar. “The” Registrar. I am proud of her and hope to turn out to be half the woman she is. #braggingrights

I could go on about how many outstanding women I have in life but we’d be here forever. Instead, I want to read about you! Do you have influential individuals in your life that deserve s shoutout? Comment below.
