I continue to observe life as I make it through my daily routine. Stress comes and goes. I still am ever thankful for the things I have that I both worked for and those that were given to me. After long, hard days its nice to sit back for a quick chat with friends - new or old - and think about how things aren't really all that bad. We complain and praise, and realize that all in all we aren't so bad off. Busy days and busy nights keep us up and running. Thinking about whats next and never looking back. I'm thankful when good people come along to show me a new side of things. Someone to chat with on a warm summer night. To talk about our favorite movies or books and make us forget about our problems, even if only for a minute. They balance out the ones that come along with too much to say, and too much to do. The people I used to be drawn to, but now would rather not have around. Some get involved to quick and make me question where I'm at and what I'm doing, only to realize those days are gone. I listen to music - preachers of heart and soul - the ones with a story to tell to make me forget about my own and know there is always something better to work for. To have aspirations and goals, and the conscience to keep working towards it, even if its been years already, knowing its what truly matters. Happiness stems from many angles, they just need to be sought out and changed up once in a while. I wish I could turn away for good the ones that irk me, and pull closer the ones that have a lot to say and would always lend an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on. I'm always glad to find new friends. Ones to share a smile or a cup of coffee, and know that they are out there in the world making happy faces, and not drowning others in their dramatic sorrows.
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival." - C. S. Lewis
