Day Four: Friendship

So a busy day today, but that's ok. We need those from time to time.

Day Four: Friendship
I'm grateful I have amazing friends around me. I know at times I don't acknowledge them and there are times when it feels like there is no one around. But they are. Sometimes I feel like I'm so caught up in my own little world I don't see the people who stand beside me.

I once read this quote on a bathroom stall "Loneliness is when you are in a room full of people and feel connected to none of them" I have to admit i thought about this for a while. But I agreed. There are times when I have felt my most alone and I have had the most people around me. But I don't have to feel like that all the time.

Today showed me that spending the afternoon with people you like around you can make you feel like you are on top of the world. I think loneliness is a part of our lives. There will be points in our life when we do feel alone but what I'm learning now is to not let those moments take over your life and take away the good times you can have with other people. After all a dozen twenty-somethings running around with paint, play dough, and bubble mix surely can't be wrong.

I love that I have friends and I love my friends. I love that they appreciate me (most of the time) and they can say nice things. I have amazing friends. I sometimes get emotional when I think about all the times they have been there for me and all the wonderful things they do. A friend of mine, wrote me a beautiful note today explaining how I was such a supportive friend to all the activities my friends are involved in (We all have very busy lives). The words used to describe me were unbelievable. Its not that I don't agree with them, its more I never realised how much I meant to one person, well, a lot of people. This friend just happened to put it into words. I love you M you are a great friend to have around as well.

So we need the bad times to balance the good. But I think from now on I'm going to try and meet new people, tell my friends I appreciate the amazing job they do and stop getting caught up in my own world. Because in all honesty we are nothing without other people around us to share the highs and the lows.

I love that I have these great friends around me, because together I think we make a great team. Thank you so much guys you are making me a better person
