Yes, it is very true that love is a very strong word, but I feel I use it in all the right ways.
I love with all my heart, I believe that with all I am
My friends are who have made me who I am now. They have been there when I was at my worst and cheered for me when I was at my best. My friends have seen my struggle with mental health and have not let that define what I can do. They have believed in me the whole way and have never lost hope.
Not every friendship I have is a close one, but all the friendships I have are made out of love. Love is more than romantic to me. My definition of love is putting your all into a relationship that you find worth while. For me, that is all my friendships. All my friendships mean the world to me, close or not. My goal is to spread love wherever I go. That is what I plan to do for the rest of my being.
I love them for staying and waiting for me to calm down and explain what was going on.
They have all been so patient with me and who I am as a person. Not everyone's journey is the same. Not everyone is able to experience the same places or same laughter. No one else will ever know the impact the people in your life have made in who you are today. Not many people know about my mental health struggles, but the people who did chose to stay. Those are the friends I hold near me today. The friends that made sure I was okay when I could not think straight.
They made sure I could live the life I was made to live. I am going to share a little secret with you guys. I never thought I would make it this far in life. I never saw myself smiling as big as I have or laughing as loud as I do. I never had been able to imagine a future for myself because I simple did not see myself making it this far. My friends might not have known how much they mean to me, but they truly mean the world.
They sat through the tears, they listened to the complaints, they listened to my frustration when I knew I was powerless. They sat through that and always made sure I was okay before anything else. Friendships make us who we are. I heard a quote one day that said, "our friends are a reflection of who we are as a person and who we allow into our lives" and I believe my friends are the best representation I could have ever gotten. They are the most loving people I know and I could not imagine a world without their presence.
