Deep Breath

Thank god for good friends.  It is so amazing to live with 5 different, awesome girls, who all care about me.  We always have other random people around too, and it finally, finally, feels like home. Feels like a family.  When I was crying the other day on the couch, one roommate forced me to go outside, get breakfast, and look at the bright side rather than wallow in self-pity.  Another roommate and I are hanging out as much as we used to.  Yesterday we went tubing down the American River with a bunch of awesome people.  Came home exhausted, grabbed dinner and pretty much collapsed.  Another roommate and I make food together  often.  Last week she made an amazing dinner for all of us and I made everyone a cake.  Another roommate gives the best advice ever, always able to tell when something is not quite right with me.  Another roommate is now dating an old friend of mine because I set them up, and it's so fun to talk about how their dates go and see him around.  She and I are so alike it's funny.

I am going through a hard time in my life and yet I feel so supported.  More supported than I ever have.  Good friends, good family, and a 24 year old boy/ man who is too nice to be real.  An amazing counselor has been a bonus.

And on that note, it's great that no matter how trying life can be, there is always, always a bright side.  You just have to look for it and not lose sight of it.
