so it's true that there's a lot that's not too great going on in my life right now. i'm dealing with some personal stuff and i'm not in school at the moment. BUT, one really good thing that's happening in my life right now is my friends.

i feel like you get to a certain point in your life where you make a choice about the friends you have. when you're in grade school, it's pretty easy to keep your friends because you see them every day. but once you graduate and move on, you and your friends have to make a choice. most of your friends promise that they'll be your friend forever, but only the test of time really proves if they'll keep their word.

i've had friends already fail their promise. but also, i've had friends who have stayed. friends who have very good reasons for being too busy to make time for me, but they do anyway. i have friends who have a genuine interest in what i like and what i say. i have friends who care about me when i'm upset. and although busy lives may make it hard for me to see these friends, they check in on me. i know undoubtedly that they care.

i also have made new friends. it's harder than you think to make new friends after you've graduated high school. meeting up and having contact seems easy, but with busy lives it's difficult to build a new foundation. but nonetheless, i've made new friends since graduating. and they have truly made an effort as well. i know that they, too, care about me. that they're interested and concerned about me.

i've had friends that have left me. friends that have chosen other things and decided i wasn't worth their time anymore. and that's fine. i wish the best to the friends that i've lost.

it's good to have true friends. my circle may be small, but in terms of quality i have the greatest friends i could have. it's a blessing to have one true friend that cares for you, but having the amount i have is amazing.

thank you to the people who make me feel nice inside. i love you, and i'm always here for you too. you mean a lot to me. 🖤
