March Madness

I've never quite understood the world as I do right now. I've never quite understood myself as I do right now.
It's difficult for me, because I seem to choose friends who have never made mistakes before, and it becomes easy for people to make judegments based on something they don't even know.
All I know is that love never fails. Forgiveness is priceless. And friendship is like life, it can be taken from you at any time.

A wise woman once told me this,

"Popularity is fleeting. Reputation is what other people think of you, character is who you really are. And, sometimes it's our character that makes us unpopular."

Ouch. Right on, Freda.

So, here's my confession to the world; I'm not perfect. I have flaws, I have failures, I'm weak, I'm human, I'm just a girl. I'm 23 years old, and I'm expected to act like I've been alive forever. I don't know ANYTHING. I'm learning, I'm living, I'm surviving.

And then I think of the people who stand right beside me, and encourage my strengths. And, then I learn what love is all about. Thank God for friends who allow room to grow.

And thank God for Lena telling me she'll hide $60 in her desk so that I can save tattoo money.
