Giving Thanks

Now that I've talked about friendship...

I think it's a good opportunity for me to thank someone.

I was going through a really rough time for several months this year.  Well, it actually started around the end of 2012, I guess...
It was a crazy emotional roller coaster ride that I knew I needed to get off of, but simply couldn't/wouldn't.
I spent so many days and nights obsessed about it, crying about it, alternately facepalming and headdesking about it as well as about myself.  I felt like an idiot who couldn't stop being one.

But through it all, Connie was there, supporting me.
She has been the fiercest cheerleader and my personal motivational speaker.  lol
She would listen to my pathetic and ridiculous ramblings with so much patience.
She was there whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on or an ear to vent to. No matter how busy, she tried to be there for me as much as she could.
She understood what I was going through, often without me even having to complete the sentences. lol
She would help me see things from slightly different POVs.
She would make me laugh despite the depressing and frustrating circumstances.
She would cheer me on, telling me I can do the right thing for myself, that I'm strong and deserve much better.
But whenever I didn't do what she'd suggested (despite a looooong convo, even), she would immediately accept it and comfort me, telling me it's OK, without making me feel like a total disappointment and a disaster (which I was).
And then, she would immediately start cheer-leading for me again, trying to help me get out of the unhealthy situation ASAP.
It was a great comfort to know that she would always be there if I really needed someone to talk to, and that she would be there to catch me if that crazy roller coaster ever threw me up in the air and slammed me down to the ground.

But most of all, I thank her for supporting me without passing ANY judgment, without ever preaching to me, and without making me feel more an idiot than I already did anyway.  And for allowing me to make my own mistakes and learn from them, no matter how frustrating it must've been for her at times. lol

Without you, I honestly don't know if I could've survived those months, and it makes me choked up when I think about the gravity of the support you gave me during those months.
It really meant the world to me.
From you, I learned what it really means to support a friend.
I just wanted you to know this, because I wasn't sure if you did. lol

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Doom Sister♥
And thank you, GACKT, for allowing us to come together in Japan this summer!

P.S. There are other friends who gave me their support on this issue, too. I want to make sure they know that their support meant so much to me, too. Thank you, guys. You know who you are.

P.P.S.  And yes, my Japan report should start very soon..... <^^;;;
