Friendship

"Sometimes you put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."

I am so blessed that I have so many people that I call my "friends". I feel as if I have all types of friends...or at least that I have enough =) I wish there was a way to make them realize how much they mean to me because they really have affected my life. Here are a bunch of quotes that just define friendship and are nice to read!

"To the world you may be just one person, to to one person you may be the world."

"Even though we've changed and we're all finding out own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."

"This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smile when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for you when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life."

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are."

"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget."

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked." 

"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend." 

So enough of that. Friends are those who are willing to listen to your crap all night and not mention how tired they are. Friends are those are who can encourage you when others don't believe in you. Friends are those who love you even if you really are crazy. Friends are those who will walk in mad sketchy areas if you need a friend with you. Friends are those who are willing to listen to Spanish music just because you have this new love for it. Friends are those who will pick up when your parents call. Friends are those who will tell you that the guy/girl that dumped you is ugly and a jerk. Friends are those who will stand by you always.

But they aren't all like that. Some are just friends while you're in a certain class with them, and that's fine. Some are just friends when you see them at camp, but that's fine as well. Some are just there when you're living in a certain area, that's totally cool. You can't have everyone in your life at all times. It's just not possible. And although friends do all of the above, you can't EXPECT them to because expectations can and will ruin everything. But it's not easy to have a friend and not expect them to "be there for you" right? So what are we supposed to do?  

Anyway, I just wanna let some people know that I loveeee them! The people I keep in touch with from high school-you are awesome. From a class of 632, there's a reason why I only talk to you now; you all have a special place in my life, and I'm glad that we'll always keep in touch. My dance girls-so much to say about you all, but for now let me just point out that I haven't seen you in 11 months, how insane! Anyway, I love our random days in the basement catching up and crying and laughing! My Swadhyay friends-you guys are just plain awesome. I love that we can talk about anything and everything because our relationship is so pure in a sense, and we are all connected through the most amazing person ever, to say the least. My RU friends-damn I never thought I'd be so happy in New Jersey, but I love it. You guys make every day an adventure-climbing roofs, eating at random places, studying in buildings we shouldn't be in, [not] going to classes together, etc. Thanks so much for making my college experience as amazing as it is. My family-what can I possibly say about you guys?! I love you. For those of you that don't fit into these categories-there's gotta be a reason why I hang out with you or talk to you, haha. 

Anyway, each and every one of you makes every day special, and I wanted to thank you for that. Appreciate your friends and life will be better! Spend more time with them, because as said before, time is precious.

So long. <3
