Dear Friends,
Last week we looked at the past, and now we look into the present.
First I need to say that I'm using my idea of past and present on my timeline. High school being a very dark period of my life and now in college, my life is getting better. Now to my letter:
Life is crazy and I never felt like I'd be where I am today. I can honestly say that when I look in the mirror I can look myself in the eye and like what I see. This is a journey that has been long and winding and there is one group who has played a large role in it and how far I've come. That is the wonderful group of friends that I've been surrounded with in my college life.
Words can't express how thankful I am, but I'm going to try to address a couple people individually who have made the biggest impact in my life but for the sake of privacy I will only be referring to them using a generic identifier and pronouns.
To E: My amazing friend, we have been all over the map you've annoyed me to no end and yet you've showed me so much love in your own unique wonderful way. You are my most trusted adviser. You push me to be so much better, and that's what I need. I know when you praise me its true, and when you correct me I mean it in a loving way. That means so much to me because you aren't afraid to walk beside me, being fully aware of my faults.
To L: Your caring and loving spirit never cease to amaze me. Whenever I feel at my worst your friendship overwhelms me. You've helped let go of so much darkness in life by displaying what seems like an never ending amount of love. You help me feel so safe. Talking to you always keeps me calm and helps me to navigate this crazy weird thing called life.
There are some many things I could say to so many people, so I have to say a never ending thank you to all the friends that make this life so much better.
Now what is important for you to understand is that wonderful friends can only help in your journey. You have to take your journey and decide to move forward. They can't do it for you.
Until next time my friends.
