Thank the Lord for diversity

Since I have been traveling, it makes me understand quite a few things, one thing that really changed my perspective in ways, is knowing that in our little "bubble" we live in, like everyone in our age demographic pretty much dresses the same, and sometimes even acts the same way. Being in Europe, they have like a whole different fashion sense then in America, but the great thing was that you see people dressing how they like. Because there was so much diversity there, it was cool to see different people from different cultures add their own little twist on fashion from where they came from. It really reinforced to me the fact that it isn't important to buy from the coolest places according to the people around the area. Who cares? I mean really. So, it was interesting to see that they had H&M and The Gap there, both of which I really like. I don't really have a point, I just feel differently now that I have been exposed to more diversity. It doesn't matter what you wear, or who makes it. It is important to me, I have realized that it is worth it sometimes to invest a bit of money if you know about a certain thing that you know will really stand the test of time, and wear and tear. K told me about Teva's for example. Great sandals, expensive, but so worth it. So anyhow, I guess lesson of today is that it is good to invest in stuff sometimes, but seriously don't feel pressure to do or wear something that isn't who you are. Sorry just a random blog for today

Otherwise we are having fun with our pals in PA, we are going to Red Lobster tonight, Wahoooooo

london was sure great for diversity. that is honestly one of the things i also missed most upon returning. we live in a culture that prizes diversity yet we lack it so.

glad to hear you picked up on it as well... wait... now we're the same again on something... ahhhh! :-)
