I know it’s been a few days since I’ve posted last, but I’ve had some trouble thinking of something to talk about. I feel like all of my ideas are boring and no one would want to read about them. As I was doing my Spanish homework tonight, the idea of friendship popped into my head. I’m sure it had something to do with the fact that my best friend has been sitting next to me for the past three hours annoying me, although I must say I don’t really mind it at all.
I have been very fortunate to have pretty amazing people in my life. Some have been around since elementary school; others have made their appearances within the last few months. Other people who I thought I’d be friends with forever have fallen to the wayside, and others have even moved around the world. I’m not going to name and names, but you all know who you are.
My friends have taught me some very important things. To be patient and kind, to do what’s best for me, to follow dreams, to have faith, and to not take myself too seriously. We’ve had ups and downs, fights, screaming matches, tears, and fits of laughter where we never thought we would stop. We went to dances together, shopping, movies, bonfires, amusement parks, vacation, even graduated together. We’ve watched each get married and have kids, which is hard to believe. We’ve also cried on each other’s shoulders a few too many times. My friends are the ones who help me pick up the pieces and help me put them back together again.
I am so very blessed for the people in my life who I call my friends. I would be lost without them, miserable in fact. Although I might feel lonely, I know I am never truly alone.
