It's official...I have the best friends in the world.
Over the last week or so I have spent moments pondering why on earth I was so lucky as to meet all of them. But I have and that makes me 'the luckiest' (disclaimer: i will quote songs/books as often as possible. This one was Ben Folds-check it out).
I'll never be able to fully comprehend how it all happens. Somehow we meet that one person who can teach us a lesson that we could have never learned from anyone else. I look at my web of friends, past and/or present, and see patience, love, courage, and so many other qualities which I have been so deficient in. Through them, I see life in a more beautiful way, a stronger way.
So as I was pondering whether I should make a blog and what on earth I could even talk about, my friends came to mind. My beautiful, crazy, impulsive, courageous, and intelligent friends. My little moments are filled with them: long talks which make even the stars look dull, giggles that can't seem to stop, and deep understanding and love which transcend the most supreme highs and lows which this world can throw at us.
I have two best friends- Alyssa and Jillian. This weekend Jillian and I made the trek down to Peoria to visit Alyssa. As we were sitting in her boyfriend's house Saturday night, he made AMAZING food, and Jillian and I were trying to convince Alyssa and Zach that Enchanted was worth seeing, I felt so at home. In ten years, we'll probably be doing the same thing: sitting on the couch and just enjoying being with each other. Family. :)
Til I write again- love you all.
