Good mornings

  Last night, I was depressed - tears and all. It was 10 in the evening and I was crying like mad. With help from a really reliable friend (P***), I was able to get off my muck, and really change perspectives on viewing things. This affected how I woke up this morning.

  Just this morning, I sent out text messages to all of my closest friends. The main message was "Good morning. Thank you. I love you." Life suddenly felt so short, and I had to do something before I was swept away again. So, I did that, and I was crying, but completely happy afterwards. A huge weight was of my shoulders and I really did feel happy, even with the amount of school work I still have to do now.

  So now, I will continue to take things one step at a time. I'm still growing up. I'm still learning. I'm way better than who I was before, even if I'm still in the process of moving on and accepting myself. I learned a lot from my past experiences. The most important one was this: "Continue living." No matter how hard life gets, no matter how complicated things get, always continue to live. I have friends whom I could depend on. They give me great advice, remind me of the right things when I am overwhelmed, and sometimes tell me to have fun and relax from time to time.

 Hooray for my uptight perfectionist personality. (Feel the sarcasm?)

 This is why I am so thankful for them. This is why they are important to me. This is why I love them so much. They accept me. They understand me. They tell me what I need to hear, not always what I want to hear. I could never ask for a different set of friends than what I have now.
