Have you ever made what feels like the hardest decision of your life? You know, those decisions when you cry every single time you think about it. When you think of those times, do you remember your friends telling you everything was going to be okay? Do you remember them telling you that you were doing the right thing?
I do. Lately, I feel like everything I do is a big decision. But some decisions are hard, and you wish they just would make themselves. Every single time I make a decision, big or small, hard or easy, my friends are there texting me. They're checking in on me.
Every single time I make a hard decision, I know I'm going to make it out okay. I know that they are there making sure I know what I'm doing, even though 85% of the time I have no idea what I'm doing myself.
I've never been so grateful for a group of people who weren't my family. Now don't get me wrong, my family does the exact same thing. They check in, and they help me in my decision making. I'm extremely grateful for them and their help.
But sometimes, having friends who just make sure they let you know that you're doing great and life is great and everything is going to be great is the best feeling.
There is a special place in my heart for those friends who make the hardest decisions seem a little easier. Those are the friends who tell you that you did the right thing, even though you're second-guessing everything you thought about. Those are the friends who support you in good times and bad because they know you're going to kill it no matter what you do.
We all need this support system, away from our family. Our family is always going to tell us it's going to be okay. So will our friends, but it's just a little different.
We all need those people who will laugh with us, cry with us, put us up, and put us in our place. We need those people who will drink one too many drinks with you but still tell you to take a shot. We want those people who will bring you whatever you want when you're sick, sad or hungover.
Here's to the friends who love us, hate us and support us. To the friends who tell us we're a boss ass bitch or just a straight up one: you're awesome. To the people who have insured me on every right decision I've made: I appreciate you.
Your support means more to me than anything else in this world. Thank you.
