Friends. Where would I be without them. Some of my very best friends are photographed in this photo!! Words can't even express how much I have needed these people the last little while. I am sorry to any of you out there that are tired of me posting about the negative. But that seems to be prevalent in my life as of late. I have been struggling with some issues as is everyone on the face of the planet.

I can't tell you how much the impact of a single person for even just a few minutes can change everything. As my Aunt Mindy once told me. Sometimes you just need a friend to go on a ride with you, if for nothing else than the company and someone to listen to. I don't confide in many people because of the trust issues that I have, but when I find that good friend that I can trust I can tell them anything, and I trust that they will not only keep what I say to themselves, but not judge me on what I am telling them. It is sooo nice to be able to just sit down with a friend and just talk with them, if not about anything important to my salvation or anything, or if it happens to be an intellectual conversation.

I have found that my new group of friends that I've made in Apartment 20 have seemed to genuinely care about me. Which is a nice change from the past where I was put on the backburner of so many peoples lives. I hate nothing more than when someone lies to me, and beats around the bush about something. I get more angry with said individual than when they come straight to me with the problem and work out a solution. I might be mad or angry for a little bit, but how am I suppposed to know what the problem is, or what is bugging them, if they don't tell me. I'm not a mind reader.

Now I seem to just be rambling, but those are my thoughts. I am not looking for you all to feel bad for me, or to pour your kindness all over me. I am just blogging out my thoughts. take them for what they're worth.
