I am reviewing Dyana's journal on Tuesday October 17th about friendships.
What captured my attention and concentration was the casual way in which it was written. I liked how Dyana wrote in this way to make us all feel as though she was sharing something of herself. I felt part of her world, for the whole time I was reading it. Because it was written in this way, it enabled me to reflect on my life, and simialr expereinces that I have had through the years with friendships. I was able to remember and reflect upon the specific moments in my past where I have felt the same way as Dyana, where I felt let down by people, disappointed at the actions by friends, and left questioning the existence and value of a 'best friend'. Thank you for this post Dyana. It has enabled me to look at my life, like yours, and see that friends (in the general sense) to make us laugh, cheer us up, and enable us to escape from our own worlds which burden, sadden and confine us.
Dyana didn't need to overemphasise this point. She didn't write about her lack of a 'best friend' in lfe. She successfully drew readers into her expereince.
I thoroughly enoyed this blogg. Although I could relate to it, if I had not also questioned and searched for that one 'best friend' in life, I would apprceiate the core of what Dyana was communicating- that we should all be greatful for the freindships and relationships we have.
But....... when we learn to truly be happy with who we are, blessed at the gifts we can offer, as opposed to those we can receive, and when we truly understand that we are loved................ then, we are liberated and we have reached the point where we understand that we are loved, we are valued.
