Thank you for Friendships

Friends are people who u can really share anything with. They understand and get you. They forgive and accept you for yourself. They're honest. They're fun to talk with and makes going through life better.

Compare the days with a friend, and those days without. It really makes a big difference, and sometimes we forget to appreciate friendships. The small gestures. The thoughtfulness. 

Today I saw Mike, Aubrey and Reena. Friends I haven't seen since last October. It was a weird time to see friends, but it was a reminder that I still have friends even tho they live far away and I don't always get to see them in person. 

They all offered me some support, knowing I wasn't doing too well, feeling heartbroken. Mike told me this feeling is temporary, and I won't always feel like this, and eventually i'll feel better. He also said, Man, that sucks ass. I'm sorry man. He's one of the smartest guys i know. and it's kinda just what i needed to hear. He also said, least you gave it your best and was yourself. Sometimes that's just how life goes. And you learn and move on.

Disappointment is inevitable. But discouragement is a choice. I've been here before. I know how to pick myself up over time. I know i'll be okay. it's not that bad. In fact, I do appreciate the good things that came out of it. Obviously not what I expected. But it's okay. wish i went about it better. But I actually learned a lot.

Out of a crazy pandemic and divine encounter I ended up with a really good friendship. Those are not as common now days. God can use a situation for positive reasons in ways we didn't expect. Remember to count your blessings.

I'm starting to realize that I have more friends than I thought. Sure we may not talk very often, but when we do, you know it's always a good conversation. It's nice to call up a friend, or have a friend call ya and just laugh and talk. 

I think i take losing friendships really hard. it happens. But right now, i'm grateful for the friends I do have in my life. Each one different in their own way.

There's this cat named peewee. He's kind of an odd cat. But i'm grateful for pets that actually like to cuddle up. there's somethin soothing and warm about pets who are affectionate. 

It's nice that you can be yourself and be comfortable around a friend, and end up talking for hours easily. Life without friendships is lonely. we need to make sure we fight for the people we want to keep in our lives. Treat them with care. Cherish and value them.
