The Truth
I know some people don't like to be told that they're a great person/friend. So here's the truth. Sometimes we are all assholes. I know I am. But we're just being honest (hopefully). Sometimes we get angry at each other. But the best thing about friendship is redeeming ourselves and staying friends even when we aren't very nice to each other. There's always the perfect mix...Someone telling you that you're wonderful and the best person for the job, and another making sure you don't get your hopes up too high. Someone telling you that you're pretty, but at the same time telling you you're acting really stupid lately. Someone telling you that you're annoying them, but that we can work through it, no harsh feelings. Someone to tell you that you're a smart person, but you could do better. That's what friends are. During the past few days, I've taken, or was given, a lot of time to think about my friendships. I've realized that you can't have just one or two friends. It's like in Angels and Demons, everything in the universe comes in pairs, opposites. And without the opposites nothing would exist. (Yeah, I'm a dork, I just compared life to a book, but you like it!) So maybe I don't have a best friend, just someone that I've been able to open up to easily. And maybe nobody has a best friend, just lots of different kinds of best friends. Someone who cares. Someone.

Kyssa, give me a call at the house, if you remember the number. I'm not doing anything in the afternoon and what not tomorrow and i think we are making cookies. Maybe we can all go to the park or something. Ok. heart you.
Some people don't have friends like that. Some people don't have anyone like that. Some people don't have more than one true friend, and maybe that one friend doesn't count. Some people don't have a single person they would tell everything to. Some people keep things a secret from every single one of their friends, because they know that if they say one little thing, everyone is going to know everything within a day. Some people don't fucking care about having "true" friends anymore and just want someone to hang out with and chill. Some people don't want someone who cares...
"just lots of different kinds of best friends..." yeh rite. true blue BFFs are hard to come by. its hard to find just one, not to mention more than one, so i disagree w/ that. but i do agree that each friendship is different and is for a different purpose/reason. but it is nice to know ppl r there u help u, encourage u, yet make sure u dont set ur hopes too high. friends are pimp shit like that! friends are great. yes i am an asshole, and i like it. holla
I'd have to agree with e. It's great to just have friends to hang out with. It's ok to not open up. I just needed that, and if someone doesn't that's fine. I'm very happy that they are strong and confident enough to not need someone to help them all the time. I, on the other hand, am not strong and confident so I need a hand sometimes. But I'd be more than happy to just hang out. You all know that.
And maybe you can't have more than one best friend, but it's no good to just rely on one person for the rest of your life either. Don't get attatched...That's my lesson from all of this.
dont get attached... hmmmm... i definitely should think about that one for a while and maybe take what u learned and make myself learn from it as well. dont worry i understand my thoughts even if u don't. just a note to self ya know.
