To rave is to love. The concept of raving gets a bad rap because of all the drugs that go on, but if you were truly to understand what raving is all about, you’d see how it’s about the love. The love of music, dancing, friends, both new friends and old friends, the love of sharing the experience together. I’m not denying there are drugs at raves, there are drugs everywhere. Raving makes me feel happy because I do it with the friends I love. This photo was taken at Steve Aoki on May 15th, and it was an unreal time. Everyone moving with the music together, making friends and getting caked. To rave, is to love.

I taught a little boy how to tie his shoes! :) Last month, I started a new job working two new jobs at a daycare. Between both sides that I work at, preschool and school age, there are about 60 kids I had to get to know in a short amount of time. It was really hard to learn their names, let alone their interests, but my first few days in, I taught a young boy how to tie his shoes! He worked so hard at but finally, he got it! He was so proud of himself! It was great to see! And it was nice that even at his age, he was so thankful because he would keep telling people that Madame Melissa taught him! Never forget the small things, because often times they’re the most important.
