An open letter to my friends...
I have never asked for anything except friendship from any and all of you. I love every single one of you, but I would never ask anything other than your time....and maybe a fun idea or two. At times, you've had to be a rock or a sounding board or a therapist, but you've risen to the occasion beautifully. It is because of that that I am so thankful to have such amazing friends.
If you feel like I'm a demanding friend, I apologize. We all have our moments. However, if you feel like I'm a diva who needs a massive support system or a superman to save her, then perhaps our relationship isn't what I thought it was because I would never want someone who I thought was a dear friend to think that I needed to be saved. For the record? I never asked to be saved. I don't need a superhero, I need friends.
I don't even know if any of this makes any sense. Perhaps this is diarrhea of the mind. But over the past few weeks, I've thought a lot about friendship and who truly encompasses the idea of a friend. If you're reading this, then you pass the test. Just remember that I love you, but I don't need you to save me or kiss my ass or stroke my ego (although that is nice from time to time). I just need you to be there. And to love me for who I am, even if that means that I'm a loud-mouthed dork who doesn't make sense all the time.
