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.
