FRIENDSHIP

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

I have recently come into a new friendship and felt as if I needed to speak about it. As you all probably know, friends don't come easy to me. Being the youngest of five children I never really had to make friends. My siblings were my friends and their friends became my friends as well. Never did I imagine that as I got older my siblings and I would separate and live so far away. Although, I do have my mother here and she is my ultimate BEST FRIEND, understanding and loving in a way nobody ever could be. Anyways, this brought me to a very lonely state in my life. But as I tried to make friends, thinking it would be a simple task...I mean I can be a nice person when I want to be (HA HA HA)....I soon realized there was much difficulty. I had reached a rock, a pretty hard rock and realized that I have NO CLUE how to get myself out there and meet new people. How does someone go a whole life and not learn how to befriend someone? Well, don't ask me how I did it but if anything can't be done.....I CAN DO IT!

Well, on with my story.....I was beginning to let go of the dream of finding a girly friend companion when I started to search for my spiritual self again. And SMACK.....there you go! GOD handed me friends and I just out of nowhere began to learn how to be a friend. So, here I am...sitting in pure grin. I am still learning how to get myself out there but I will not stop until I have befriended the whole damn world if I have too....because come to find out, having friends is AWESOME!!

The moral of my story is, I'm happy because now not only am I growing within myself and learning new things in life but I am also able to share that with people other than my loving little family. And although it might seem silly or childish, friendship now means HEAVEN to me!
