Its nights like this, where I'm laying alone in my bed after a fabulous day of being at home that I wonder why being away is so great. It makes me think. I like being home. It's comfortable, and safe, and well, familiar. But I know that after about a week, I'll be going stir crazy for some shenanigans with my college family. Nights like tonight, with my best friend of 6 years - correction-- sister-- make me think that I don't need anything else. I just need home, love, and family. Life is full of complicated situations and unnecessary drama, why can't it just be as simple as "love." My friend had a shirt on that said "Live Simply," and I've been wondering "what does simply mean?" Does it mean less stuff? Less people? Less distraction? What? I think it looks different for different people, but basically just don't complicate your life. Keep to the necessities. And for me, that means I don't need much to survive: loving family & friends, a place to sleep, and a good book.
Be thankful for the ones in your life that you consider in your inner circle. The ones you can bear your soul to. Because those are rare individuals and rare friendships.
I feel things changing around me, and I think its now that I need to be consciously thankful of who I have in my life because I don't know how long each of them will be there.
Lastly, tonight I thought about support & encouragement. If you have someone that is always your cheerleader and support, thank them. Switch roles and support them in something. Appreciate them.
People can suck sometimes. They disappoint us. They make mistakes they can't take back. They turn on us. BUT most of all, the good ones, love us in the end. We all have faults. You can't heal the brokenness with more hate.
