I’ve thought a lot lately about my life. This was the response to a comment she made on my Facebook page. She’s a wonderful friend who forces me to think about things in a totally different perspective. I don’t have many “close” friends, but the friends I have are very close. My close friends and family are what have really helped me stand tall lately.
I would like to give a special thanks to all of them, and they know who they are…
Me: Any time someone special to me takes their valuable time to even think about me, it’s big.
Stephanie: That kind of appreciation keeps me being who I am, especially when so many people don’t give a damn.
Me: Lately, especially lately, I’ve come to realize that there are a very few people who really care about me, or even care to know the truth about me. I wanted so long for people to like me, like who I was. I discovered that in order for other people to like me, I needed to like me. I didn’t. I do now. So those few people who really care about me, care about me. I care about them. They don’t define who I am, but they help me keep the definition of who I want to be.
i don’t think i ever thanked you properly, when you tried to help me find my friend. she did come back around, eventually. turns out she went away to rehab and wanted to be clean for a year before she reconnected with the few people in her life not associated with her drug issues. everyone else told me to just forget about her. you were my only friend who didn’t once say that; more then that, you tried to help me find her. thank you falls short. i don’t really think i can find the words to express how grateful i am, and how much i appreciate the effort.
anyone who doesn’t appreciate who you really are is not worth your time. you are a pretty great friend and i consider myself lucky to know you.
I really appreciate that. I do what I do simply because it’s what I’m suppose to do. Help people. It’s what we should all do. No need for thanks 🙂
