Sweet Friends

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, 

and it is only by this meeting 

that a new world is born."

- Anais Nin

I really have been realizing how many sweet friends I have today. Things have changed since high school and I love each of my friends a lot. I cherish our time together and how each of us met.

Through encouragement, tears, laughter, fights, and love I know I can trust and ask for encouragement any time!

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his friend: but woe to him that is alone when he fall; for he has not another to help him up"  

Ecclesiastes

Obstacles

We all face obstacles in life. But I feel like my life is an obstacle. Merely because of the series of events happening and everything just comes crashing down. Maybe things just aren't meant to be or maybe I'm really that unlucky. Regardless, life is hard. 

I say things on here I'd rarely saw out loud in real life. I am the non confrontational, don't like to upset people, or ruffle anyone's feathers. I do have feelings though. And in life I feel like I hold back a lot of things I feel and just try to bottle it in. And other times I just have to be honest..brutally honest at times. Probably could work on the brutal part though and focus on encouragement. 

Anyways as some would say that is "heavy" to talk about, but I'm really just ranting. Let's just say I have overcome most of my obstacles and am living life. 

Always a breathtaking moment for me here..

And these moments make my obstacles so diminutive compared to what others deal with in life. I then sat down and just watched the sunset (next to my castle) and thought about how selfish I am most of the time. It's not about me.
