Emily and I stayed up at the Epps tonight talking to Chelsea, just about life and whatnot. Chelseas story is really interesting because she's fought through so much hardship and come out of it so successful and much wiser. She has a lot of helpful thoughts about life. She told us that making goals is the best thing to do because its something to work toward and feel accomplished about when its clompleted, like college or travelling. To not let someone else dictate your life, especially not a guy who doesn't really have anything going for him. To be self sufficient and important enough that people can rely on you and never view you as that incompetent girl. To be innovative, persuasive, and confident. To be humble enough to ask for help when you need it.

And to never buy fancy furniture for your first appartment, which is how the whole conversation started.
