loved ones.
i've been going through a very difficult stretch recently... my tata (grandma) is in the hospital since friday at noon. school has become overwhelming. and i finally broke down emotionally at the end of a stressful and exhausting week. needless to say - i needed comfort, warmth, and love.
you know how they say there is something about these situations that lets you know who your 'true friends' are?
i've been amazed and taken aback by the kindness shown to me by a few wonderful people this weekend: bryn, who let me cry in her arms during a break from class, stayed with me when i couldn't go back in, and then called to let me know she was thinking of me and that she was there if i needed her. alex, who comforted me at a really difficult time, and reassured me that i am being strong and doing the best that i can. brett, who came to school to find me, in the midst of studying for his exams, to make sure i was ok, give me lots of hugs, let me vent and cheer me up.
i really am blessed with these people, among so much else that is also good in my life.
