Today certainly didn't start how I thought it would! Isn't it amazing how we become so easily swayed by events? It's not very often that I'm left speechless, but tonight as I reflect on the day, I just don't have anything to say.
For whatever reason, I'm having a very hard time articulating my thoughts, but I think it boils down to this: after I begin to get close to people and open up, become friends with them, etc. I don't think I know how to be a friend, especially after a "goodbye." Not a real goodbye, per se, but I guess more of a change, if that makes sense? Because of various events over the years, I'm always worried about becoming a burden. I honestly don't know what a real friendship actually looks like anymore, and as a result, tend to shy away from further contact. I know this probably makes no sense. Trust me, I'm just as confused! Right now, this is what I need to do to process the events of the day.
I don't like ending anything on a sad note, so in an attempt to stop the tears, I'll end with this: Life is a gift- smile, laugh, giggle- in all actuality, life is not that bad; hard, maybe. At times, a bit sad. But we often fail to realize how blessed we truly are.
May we take the time to truly appreciate the people in our lives! The men and women we look up to, the friends that mean so much to us, the ones that look up to us- for we never know when "Hello" may actually be a "Goodbye" we weren't expecting!
May we live, laugh, and love more! Live life to the fullest- appreciate each day, laugh like there's no tomorrow- it truly is the best medicine, and love like we've never loved before- in every relationship, cherish the little moments and let them sustain us through the tragedies!
