Uplifted Gratitude

Today wasn't such a bad day. Actually, today was a pretty good day. Hopefully there will be more to come.

All I have to say is, I am grateful for the ones who really do care about me.

Today was just like any ordinary day, but at night I got to hang out with a friend who I have gotten to be very close with. We have come to be great friends from the last spring quarter and today, she made my day a whole lot better. I didn't go home feeling as hopeless as I usually do. I actually felt a bit lighter and do feel lighter as of now. She is one of the best friends I know. I am able to just be real with her without having to act any other way that I am not. I don't have to dumb down my words or be afraid that I'll have reached too deep of a depth when I reveal the constant thoughts that are always never at rest. And she never marginalizes my erratic issues or tosses them aside as if they were petty and meaningless. She's patient and more than understanding and we don't have to be anything that we're not. We can just be. To find this quality in a friend is very rare and definitely never to be forgotten. I should hope that everyone in their lifetime can come across the fortunate opportunity to be in the company of people of this quality because in my experience, and I am sure not just mine alone, friends as well as people are often too too fleeting.

So I just wanted to share that and archive it so that it can be here permanently to serve as a pleasant memory.

**Side Note
I realize that my entries are still very mediocre and skint. I haven't quite gotten back my motivation for a passion I fear I have lost. But again thank you for bearing with me through this trial.
