An Open Letter To My Friends Who Have Supported Me
Over the years I’ve had many friends, some have gone or I have grown apart from, but there are still some who have stayed. I have a couple of friends who have constantly supported me and have always been there for me.
To me a good friend stays by a person no matter what. To me a good friend doesn’t judge you. To me a good friend knows how to make me laugh when I feel down. These are the kind of people my friends are. My friends are the type of people that will sit with and listen to all your problems when you feel like your world is crashing down. The ones that know before anyone else does when something is bothering you. The kind that will still make an effort to be your friend even when you moved away.
Even though I have many great friends, I have had some that were not as great . I have had friends that have lied to me , talked behind my back, or even made up things about me. These are the ones that I'm glad I don't have to call my friends anymore. They are the ones who never reached out when I moved away. They are the ones who decided to cut me off because they didn't like something I said instead of talking to me about it. These are the type of people who never really supported me or genuinely cared about my well being. Of course these friendships were hard to lose at first, but at the end of the day , cutting people out of my life that were just bringing me down only benefited me.
Eventually, I learned that surrounding myself with people who support and care about me is all I really need. To my friends who have always been there for me , I thank you. To my friends that ask how my day was and want to know every little part of it , I thank you. To my friends that try to calm me down when I'm freaking out and tell me everything is going to be okay , I thank you. I wanna thank all my friends that fit under any of these categories because you have made a big impact on me that I will always cherish.
Overall I've had many friends, but I'm very thankful for the special ones . I'm thankful for them keeping me sane everyday. I don't know where I'd be if they weren't in my life.
