We all have our days, and sometimes those days turn into weeks, and just sometimes that day will have such an impact it will end up being a bad month and next thing you know you're struggling to pick yourself up. You start to get in a rut where you hide away in your room with your new Netflix binge obsession avoiding everyone and everything. We've all done it, I know I have. So this is for the ones who push me to fight back, for the ones who let me cry it all out and for the ones who take my mind off it all. For the ones who are always there to pick me up after I've fallen.
These last few months have been anything but easy. Trying to balance the day to day life of a 20 something year old college student is hard enough as it is, then all the other bullshit piled on top tends to break you down. Thank you for listening to my endless rants about life. I know that I can go on and on about the same thing for weeks, and I'm doing my best to get it out of my system. You're always there for it all, telling me it's okay and that it will all work itself out.I can let my emotions get the best of me sometimes, and I know that. So there have been times when I'm extra emotional and I just need to let the tears fall. You are there right beside me with a box of Kleenex. Whether it's me crying at a Grey's Anatomy episode because I can relate to the heartbreak, or I'm a full on blubbering mess. I hope that I wont have to return the favor in the future, but just know that I will be there.
Sometimes there is nothing I would rather do than escape from our city, and runaway from all my problems. All I have to do is send a text, and I know you're there. A late night drive to cry about the boys who broke our hearts, concerts to dance the night away or ice cream dates to eat our feelings in froyo toppings. You lift my spirits every time.
Thank you for laughing it off with me. Life can be so serious sometimes, and let's be honest the shit that I get into is somethings straight up comedy. Making fun of it all is sometimes just what I need. You are able to stop the tears and get the laughs rolling, and it's such a nice break from it all. It feels good to laugh about it because I know in a few years it's not going to mean a thing. It will all just be a blip in my memory looking back.
You know how to make me feel better when were not even near each other. Something as simple as a silly snap-chat, or talking about something totally off topic always works to get my mind off it all. It's like you always know the right thing to say, and even when you don't you do. You know me better than myself sometimes, and you are always there to help work things out.
So thank you. Thank you for letting me throw myself a pity party, thank you for drying my tears, thank you for listening to it all and thank you for knowing what to do next when I don't. Thank you for always picking me up when I am too weak to stand. Without a friend like you, I don't know where I would be.
