My many Blessings...
You know with everything that goes on everyday it is easy to lose sight of all the good things. This past week I have been reminded of one of the greatest things a girl could ever have. My friends. I do not have a large entourage but I have exactly what I need. 2 of the people I have known for at least half of my life. They have literally seen it all. I never would have thought 20yrs ago that this is where life was going to take us. Or in class 14yrs ago that we would be here. Never a year ago did I think that someone I have known for a short time would be so close that they are like my family. I honestly would be nothing without them. They remind me of who I am. How can you get through life without the ability to fall apart in front of them? They are always there for me no matter what. It may be in the form of babysitting, chatting all day about nothing to distract me from the bad, texting or calling at the exact perfect moment, walking around the mall just to get out of the house, letting me know how awesome I really am, keeping me grounded, and reminding me to keep the faith. I always thought God had so much more faith in me then I had in myself. While that is true he also knows how awesome my support group is, and that when times are tough they will help me keep it together. I do not live in NYC. No we are not single. However I definitely have my Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. Oddly all 4 of us are not best friends but the 3 of them are my best friends. No matter what the trouble and heartache I have had to go through to get here it was beyond worth it. I see things I never saw before. I have been taking a long hard look at my life lately and this is what I had in my brain. I never thought I would be at a point in my life where I am so excited. I am excited for someone to move into their own place, for a brand new baby, and praying for an easy transition. Not one of these things are my own. And these 3 are not the only good ones. I have a few more girls that are just as incredible as these 3. We have babies growing up together, what seems to be a semi annual brunch, and break-ups as well. I am in a good spot in life. I have my trials and tribulations. I have the days when I just want to cry. However no matter what gets thrown my way ... I have the most amazing, beautiful, and good women behind me all the way. And they are just 1 of my many blessings...

I SO FEEL YOU RIGHT NOW
ReplyDeletejust a few weeks ago, i was asking my friend what the point of friends were. he said i had the wrong perspective on it. i was thinking it was all just relationships based on mutual use, but my universe got blown wide open and i was like, oh. wow. this is what its like.
i want to make up with everyone ive wronged. everyone that made me who i am today, i want to thank personally. even the super nasty ones - i have so many funny stories! i swear to god, i have a story or know what to say in any conversation all of a sudden.
you were my very first girlfriend. i went through a shitload with you, and i am so so sorry that we fell out of contact/ had to travel different paths. i mean, it needed to happen for us to both get where we were going, but how great is it that we are here now? i want to cry all the time im so happy! <3 you forever in my head even if we never see each other again
