FRIENDS

All through my life I've had friends come and go, a few still keep in touch with a 'Hi how you doing' but I can say with all honesty that only a couple of them had an impact on my life.

It takes a lot for me to let anybody in, but when I do they are in my heart for life. To some it may seem that  I'm distant or stand-offish but trusting is so hard for me. I've had so called friends stab me in the back and lie about me to my family, causing untold hurt and drama that to this day is still affecting my kids and me.

So believe me when I call you my friend, I mean it. Outside of wattpad I have only my family, no friends at all. That is by choice so don't feel sorry for me, I like it better that way. I enjoy my own company and that of my Kin and am content with that.

Since I joined Wattpad, a whole other world had opened up to me. I've written my first story and a few more since. I have met a whole bunch of great people that have so many different personalities and nationalities that it's sometimes hard to keep track. LOL

But now to get to the reason that I'm writing this. A few of these wonderful people dug under my shell and decided to set up camp and stay. And what surprised me the most is that I was okay with it. Five people that I've gotten to know here have come to mean so much to me.

They have listen to me bitch, and whine and just rant and never once made me feel that I was being foolish. They have laughed with me and shared many wonderful conversations. Some lasting hours on end.

One special person even stayed up many nights with me when I couldn't sleep, and helped keep my demons at bay. That might not seem much to some people but given that this person lives on the other side of the world and has a total different time zone (my day is their night) you can see how much it would mean to me. They never complained or lost patience and that is something that I will be forever thankful for. I love you.

Another special soul, understands that other side of me. They know what I need to hear and what I need to let out at times. You keep me humble and on a tight leash.

And the pervert and co. what would I do without their smexy selves. Oh that's right nothing at the moment they're on vaycay. Many a lovely naughty chat that had me in stitches and you in trouble with the Mrs (again) HAHA

A voice of calm and logic helped me so many times when all I wanted to do is cry and scream. So many of their own problems and Demons yet they always have a kind word or good advice. I bow down to your Serenity.

THIS IS WHAT TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS, AND YOU ALL WILL BE MY FRIEND AS LONG AS I WALK THIS EARTH.

I am not going to name these lovely, beautiful people
