Inspire Me: Jillian


"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." (Christopher Robin to Pooh Bear)
-A.A. Milne


She won't always be composed and strong-minded. She won't always be the one to say, "I can, and I know I can." She won't always have a smile on her face. But she's only human. I can tell you what she is though, what I know she is and always will be.

Her innocent expression leads to the gentle touch and gentle heart surrounding her aura. Give her a minute of your time, and she'll capture your heart completely. She picks you up and gives you the essence of personality; she gives you the boost in your day, the sunshine on a cloudy day. She's been there through the darkest of days and brightest of memories for me. I can hardly recap a moment the past four years she hasn't been a part of. Engraved forever in me and in my life, Jillian gives me more than I could ever thank her for. She's gracious and beautiful inside and out. Unlock her emotions, and she won't stop spilling, but in a good way. In a way you're able to relate to her and a way she continues to capture the heart with. It's sincerity in its purest form.

She's been through her days. She's experienced and well-versed in life. Hope in a bottle to my life. Hope in others. Always hope for a new day to touch her skin. Provide a challenge, and she won't back down until it's accomplished. Her stunning looks aren't just for show; she's a model of character and a rarity in all ways. Catch her if you can because she will not settle for ordinary. She is simply not ordinary.

My rock in times of need. My friend by my side. My confidant in days I am not. My trust and honor. My girlfriend and honesty. Wrong her and you wrong me. I can't help but admire her. She befriended me without question and has always given without doubt. We've become sisters embodied in each other's souls. An inspiration to my life and strength.

I've met a person who might not always be it, but is so much stronger than me in so many ways and manners. I can't always accept the uncontrollable things, no one can. I can't always handle them in ways I know how, but she does. She might not understand always, might not always be strong for herself, but it's something she'll never fully recognize in herself because she is. She is strong, willing and determined. Stronger by days and words. Stronger in soul than I. Admiration to cover her head to toe because she means that much to me, because I mean that much to her. Don't let her down because she might tumble. But catch her and she'll be grateful.

Jillian, a best friend, a strong heart, a strong soul. Give yourself that knowledge and give yourself that notion because I see it in you...let yourself grow...let yourself continue to strengthen and love...let yourself go and hope for new days.

"Somewhere over the rainbow way up high, and the dreams that you dreamed of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly, and the dreams you dreamed of. Dreams really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops high above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me. Oh somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly, and the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?"
