ainslee.

i have learned so much.

i never thought i would have such good friends as i do now. each day my mind is blown at the capacity in which i am loved by my friends.

i never though i would be able to trust someone as much as i trust my best friend

i never realized how much i would depend on my friend to make it through some of my toughest days

all throughout high school i thought i had a best friend. i thought she was my best friend because she gave me rides to school, convinced my parents that i shouldn’t be grounded, consoled me when i broke up with someone, or found me a date to prom.

the summer after my senior year i thought my best friend was the person who helped me clean up all the beer bottles at the end of a party, helped me sneak back into the house after a long night out, or hugged me goodbye as i went off to college.

now, friendship is something real. it’s the person that gives me the better of two choices, holds me hand when i’m scared, tells me bible verses to make my bad days good, helps me put the past behind me yet still understands when i need to hold on to it a little longer, goes out of the way to make time for me. it’s the person that knows exactly what to say and knows what i’m thinking without me even say me a word. essentially, it’s about love.

i wouldn’t be where i am today without my best friends and to me that means the most. i cherish every moment i have, and i am fully appreciative.

thanks for making my days amazing.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what’s a life anyway? We’re born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to life up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.
