As life goes on we keep people in our life who make us want to better ourselves, who bring us happiness, those we love unconditionally, and those whom we call our best friends. There is only a select few who we feel brings that sort of comfort and protection. The others...well we have pushed them away because they may surround us with negativity. I am lucky enough to say that I have a select few people in my life who bring me safety and reassurance that everything will be okay and that I am not alone. It definitely was not an easy journey to be able to say I have those people in my life. Because pushing away the people who made things stressful and life difficult to enjoy was not always easy. But so worth it. You know you have found the positive people in your life when you know that when you are suffering through a hard time they are the ones you call, and they are still the ones you call when everything is going great in life because they were by your side to bring you to that point of happiness. It is important to have a safe haven. To have that person or place where you feel 100% safe and comforted. To have that place or people who make you want to work harder and better yourself.
Luckily enough I do have that person, other than my mom who is my safe haven. With whatever life decides to throw at me they are there. No judgment, just encouragement and positive advice. It is someone who you can look up to. They make the bad days worth it, telling you that you have these bad days in order to truly enjoy the good ones. And when those good days come those are the people you thank. Because it all starts to make sense. Slowly but surely we all are maturing, learning something new about ourselves everyday. Sometimes those new findings scare us or the fears we have bring us down so much. While growing and learning who I am I cannot imagine not have finding my safe haven. That one person who has taught me so much in such a small amount of time. The one person who manages to bring a smile or laughter while in tears and has a positive outlook and every situation. So think to yourself whats your safe haven or that one person you know will be there holding your hand through it all. And when you find them do not take them or it for granted.
Life can be scary and when you get thrown a curve-ball you will be more than happy to have found that person who you can say will love you and comfort you through no matter how many dumb choices you make. Without them we may not even be able to learn from our poor choices. But with them we grow from those mistakes and life's scariest moments. So thank you to that one person who has brought me all of those things into my life. I couldn't do it without you.
