Friends

I don't know the point of blogging; is it to be inspirational to others, is it a journal of thoughts and feelings? I'm just not sure. I know that when I write I am motivated to be pleasant and to come to some understanding about myself and my life. Considering I'm a big mouth I like to share. I don't like keeping things to myself. My sister is the same way; we have thoughts and we must share them or we will explode. Since exploding sounds messy and neither one of us are fans of mess sharing our thoughts is the better alternative.

So, what I'd like to share about today are friends. I love my friends. I love all my friends. My old friends, new friends, friends who are related, ethnic friends, totally white friends, married friends, single friends, friends who are wise do to age, and friends who are wise do to youth, religious friends, spiritual friends, atheist friends, peppy friends, calm friends, school friends, work friends, friends who let me vent, friends who want to vent, friends who want to cry, and friends who want to laugh, friends who don't mind hearing me laugh or cry, friends who have money, friends who are broke. I love my friends who love me because of who I am; with all my imperfections because I love them for theirs. Our imperfections make us perfect; and I love that! I don't know what I would do without my friends. You all are wonderful. Your character is amazing; I'm not just talking to one of you, I'm talking to all of you. Because of you my life is better.

You know something that I've found to be so exciting? I love going out, feeling safe, being accepted, and completely enjoying the company I'm with and being enjoyed as well. It's liberating to talk to people who are open, honest, and unconditionally love. I guess I love that because that's how I feel about all of my friends. No matter the decisions, opinions, thoughts, dreams and hopes my friends have I accept them and love them for being uniquely themselves.

So I guess what I want to say is thank you. Thank you for putting up with me, hanging out with me, loving me and accepting me. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being your friend.
