Disclaimer – if you aren’t in the mood for sappy, don’t read this post! (or just read and roll your eyes all you want). I am wayyy too emotional today. Last night all I could think about was the things that I’ll be missing when I move. Life just keeps getting more hectic the older we get and I feel like it’s hard enough to see people and keep in touch while living in the same city or state, how is it going to be once we move? I HATE missing out on things and last night was the first time I got sad about it.
Luckily, I have friends that keep me grounded and build me up when I need a boost. I have the best family in the world too, but they kind of have to love me you know? The friends I have in my life I am just blessed to have…
A friend who I look to as a friend, a therapist, and an inspiration, because she moved out to New Mexico by HERSELF when she for a few years, which takes independence that I admire. She’s honest enough to say that “yeah, you’ll end up missing out and it sucks because you literally can’t just go to anything and everything, but the relationship you gain with yourself and the experience you’ll get is completely worth it”.
Another friend, who somehow can verbalize what I’m thinking even if I can’t and who, no matter what kind of mood I’m in or what she’s going through, somehow knows the right thing to say and usually how to make me laugh if I’m crying. Maybe because she’s known me since we were 14 and that type of connection only comes from over a decade of emotions, events, and experiences.
A third friend, who is somehow the most blunt person I have ever been friends with but who is also one of if not the most supportive people I’ve ever met. Who can make me feel like I am literally super woman even I’m feeling like a failure. Who I didn’t even know two and a half years ago but who now knows me probably better than the majority of people in my life.
And a few more who are unfailingly loyal, who are inspiring because they are such strong people, who are just FUN, and who are really some of the best people I know.
To have one of friendships is rare. To have multiple friendships like this is precious.
Have a happy Friday, go give your friend(s) a hug, and enjoy the weekend!
