Daniela Bobadilla Instagram – HAPPY THANKSGIVING FRIENDS!!! What are you grateful for?
I am most grateful for all of my friends and family. Even though I’m an introvert, life would have no color without my people ❤️ This picture (and the following ones) are very special to me and have a lot of meaning.
My parents and I immigrated to Vancouver, Canada when I was 7 where I was promptly introduced to the concept of Thanksgiving. (Yes, Canada has thanksgivinf.) I don’t know how, but my parents were quickly blessed with a new group of friends that are still their friends to this day – 20 years later! They became my 2nd family and the people we would celebrate the strange holiday they called Thanksgiving. Because of them, I grew up with a deep longing for a friend family.
Fast forward to moving to LA on my own, the longing only got stronger and way harder to find. LA can be a really lonely place. My first year, I binged @nbcparenthood and the Bravermans were my substitute big family.
Hence the new addition to the dream: having a big friend family dinner on a long wooden table under twinkle lights. If you know, you know. Parenthood fans raise a hand 🙋🏻‍♀️ This is my still-in-progress version of that 😋 life hack tip since you’ve read this far: I don’t YET have the wooden table… thats two foldable tables covered in “wooden” bulletin board teacher paper 🙈 gotta start somewhere right?
Long story short. I am so grateful that after almost 10 years here in LA I finally feel like I have found / been found by a friend group of my own that feels like family. | Posted on 29/Nov/2019 01:28:20
