"Being a good person doesn't depend on your religion, your race or your skin color or your culture. It depends on how good is your heart and how good you treat others." - Marcel Isler. I have been blessed with the honor of coming across some beautiful people. The kind of people who hold an umbrella over your head on rainy days, and buy you your favorite food to celebrate with you on your best days. I know I put the work in to get to where I am today, but I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for the people God placed in my life. The people who found joy for me on the days I couldn’t, and talent where I found dismay. I love who is in my life, and I love who is no longer in my life. I believe everyone serves a purpose, and we are all walking each other home along this journey. Where would I be without those who’ve held my hand along my journey? Speaking of a comforter, and hand holder, that reminds me of someone who has been an absolute blessing along this journey of mine. Ladies and gents, I proudly introduce to you the amazing Gary Glenn. I have known Gary since I was fifteen years old, he was one of the few friends I had during that time, but his presence and accepting nature made me feel like I was one of the popular kids. For as long as I’ve known Gary, he’s always been so kind and supportive of me. On the days where I silently struggled to find a reason to keep going, his greeting and funny jokes reminded me that new reasons to keep going would soon be revealed. Gary gave me hope that there is still goodness to be found in this world, and to this day I am reminded by that because of Gary. We wait far too long to appreciate people for who they are, not what they’ve done or how much they have, but who they are. There wouldn’t be a “Styling By Chi” if it weren't for my amazing friend. The only one who called me the “bag lady” in reference to my outfits I wore to school, while I silently learned how to build my confidence. One of the few who looked at me and saw greatness. One of the few who looked at me and didn’t place any responsibility, instead looked at me and placed compassion for a human being that he deemed deserving of his love. I hope this properly conveys my thank you to you for being you. I love you dearly, and I pray I get to experience you for as long as I live.
