In life people come and go. Some longer than others. Some impact your life in huge ways while others impact it in little ways. People tend to remember the good times and forget the bad. There are always those certain special people who can step into your life, maybe for a day, week, year and impact you in ways you never though imaginable. You connect with people in different ways. You can become the best of friends with someone, and realize if you ever lost that person your life wouldn't be the same. You place trust in people more than others. There are certain people who you can tell things about yourself that you can't tell anyone else, and feel ok telling them, knowing they'll keep their word. There are those special people who you can talk to for hours on end about anything in the world and never get bored. Those people are the ones who can make you smile when nothing else in the world seems to be going right. The type of person to call you or text you about the most random thing that brings a smile to your face. We all say we have lots of friends, but really, there's a select few who are your true friends. The ones who'd do anything and give anything just to see you smile, be happy, or laugh. When you lose one of these people in your life, your world takes a nose dive and life just doesn't seem quite worth it anymore. How can a person go from relying on this person for so many things, to losing it all in the next second? I would never wish losing a best friend on anyone. The empty feeling in your heart can tear you apart. True friends won't listen to what other people say because they have a trust in each other that makes whatever other jealous people say, petty bullshit because they're envious of the happiness you have with someone.
So I write this to tell you to cherish each and every person in your life. Life is too short to be mad, hold grudges, or hurt people. God taught us to love one and another so why don't we all do it? Before it's too late and life comes to an end. We lose people we love way too much to death, illness, accidents and suicide. Imagine how you'd feel if you were fighting with someone you truly care about and something horrible happened and they passed away. I know I'd never be able to live with myself, knowing the last thing I said to someone I loved was that I hated them or never wanted to talk to them again. I know today I'm going to make sure everyone I care about knows how much they mean to me, and make things better with people I have beef with. If not for me, then for all the people we've lost in life who didn't deserve it, and still had beef/drama with other people. So if you care, tell people today "thank you" or "I care about you" cause life is too short to spend mad all the time.
To all my true friends-- I love you for everything you do for me, for putting up with my bad moods, for caring about me, for being there for me when others aren't, for helping me through the rough times I'm having, for supporting me no matter what I do, for giving up your time to see me happy... I love you all.
