you know, sometimes i think that as i grow older, i'm meant to know myself better. know what i can and can't do, know what i'm comfortable and uncomfortable doing, know the places where my heart is content to go. but then there are other times when i feel like i don't know myself at all, and that i haven't grown in any way. it's often those days that i turn to the people who i love, and look to them for direction. but sometimes, i find that i'm just so confused with everything, that nothing makes sense at all! i think the best thing that i can do, is to cry. and just sob it out of my system.
duyen sent this to me a couple of days ago. only just then did i read it. but it's true you know. why limit yourself to having just one bestestest friend when you can have many close friends. third to faith and family, friends is the one thing that you can't pass up in life. you need friends at every stage and point in life. there's no way that you can bypass it. unless you're content with being an introvertedly lonely person. i don't want to be that person. ever.
anyway. here's the email. =)
"When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend, and then I started to become a woman. And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends. One friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be. One friend will say "Let's cry together," another, "Let's fight together," another, "Let's walk away together." One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe fetish, another your love for movies, another will be with you in your season of confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the wind beneath your wings. But whatever the assignment in your life, one whatever the occasion, on whatever the day, or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself, those are your best friends. It may be wrapped up in one woman, but for many, it's wrapped up in several... one from 6th grade, one from high school, several from the college years, a couple from old jobs, on some days your mother, on some days your neighbour, on others, your sisters, and on some days, your daughters. So whether they've been there 20 minutes or 20 years, pass this on to the women that God has placed in your life to make a difference."When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend, and then I started to become a woman.
