I may not have that many friends, but still, the friends I do have are freaking amazing. It hit me, today, when I wasn’t having the best of days: I had to work. It was hot. It was probably going to thunderstorm. And I had no car, meaning I’d have to walk two miles home in the heat, in flats.
And I update my facebook status, and Ali comes online just to make sure I’m okay.
And I text Mirela just to see how her birthday went, and mentioned I needed a ride, and she went out of her way to pick me up so I didn’t have to walk home.
And Kate would totally have done it and wished she could have, but was going to be at work all day.
And then there’s the support: My friends so wonderfully support me in everything I do; they want to read my stories and make me feel better about it when I don’t know what I’m doing. And it’s silly, sort of, but when Jen sometimes says that soon I will write the next great bestseller, it makes me have a lot more faith in myself. It means a lot to know that if nothing else, somebody believes in me.
I’ve had my share of terrible friends. I’ve had my share of friends that I do everything for, and get nothing in return. I’ve had my share of friends that weren’t really friends and ditched me for stupid reasons. But in particular, with Kate, Ali, Jen, and Mirela, I feel like I always have this constant support net. I don’t think about it often. And I don’t acknowledge it enough. But even if it’s something as stupid as checking up on me for a worrisome facebook status, or being excited to
Today, all I can think about is really, how lucky I am to have friends this freaking great. Really. And I know these are probably stupid things to feel happy about, but it’s the little things that matter.
I know not all of you will be reading this. But if you do, I just want to know that I really appreciate you guys and I love you and (in the case of Ali & Jen) I miss you two terribly. Come back to me plz. :(
