We grow up with our heads filled with ideals that one day we will fall in love, and just by chance that person will end up falling in love with you as well. We see this reflected in many fairy tales, in many mainstream movies, and to a certain extent it's just expected that it will happen to ourselves as well.
Since I was a child I was never very good at being patient. If I was hungry, I would demand to be fed. If I had to wait 5 minutes until my dad was able to take me to my friend's house, I would complain about having to wait for 5 minutes when there was nothing to do.
Since I was a child I have learned patience. Without this skill, many people will not progress as far as they should, or as far as they are capbable of.
Recently, I was under the impression that I was never going to get my Fairy Tale ending... however, a recent turn of events have enlightened me to the fact that it is far too early in my life to expect to have met my love, I am 19... times are different to the times in fairy tales...
I think I will find that someone, someday, and until then I need to just keep battling on, with my friends by my side.
My friends sometimes suprize me, I forget what they're capable of, I forget how far they would go to make sure I am safe, to make sure I'm not in pain, to make sure that I never feel alone. And sometimes I feel as though they are underappreciated, and I need to rectify this.
So I suppose today is a day of reflection.
1) I like someone and the fact that I actually like someone dispite the fact that the feeling is not recipricated, it alliviates my fear of not liking anyone again.
2) My friends are there for me in times of need, and I need to show them how much I really do appreciate it.
3) Never drink 3 beers and then a bottle of red wine.
