friends
sometimes you have to stop and think about how much your friends really mean to you and how they've affected your life thusfar. instead of classifying people into good friend/bad "friend", i'm realizing that you have to take people for simply who they are. the good friends will know who they are opposed to the ordinary. and obviously they'll be much more appreciated. sometimes i act before i think, but i know to the friends that mean a lot to me, i mean a lot to them in return and it doesn't matter. so thanks. i think the beauty of getting older is finding out where the chips actually fall. realizing how you've touched people without knowing. realizing that you are special among millions and friends have pointed that out to you before you get to thinking about it. and clearly you return the favor. bottom line, no matter how similar or different from you or timid or crazy a person is, if they make you feel good to be YOU and only you, that's a friend right there. i'm excited for 2009. i'm excited to spend it with the people who make me feel great about being myself :)
