Yeah, Ed just makes me feel like that.

Ackhem
So my brillent revelation for today is...
By realizing the true nature of a "best friend" I can now appreciate the beauty and joy in all my other friends.

It seems like as a little girl my quest was always to find a "best friend". Granted I occasionally found them, but in the end they all either abandoned me or the relationship fell apart. So when I went to SUA, I guess I was still looking for that life-long "best friend." I learned, however, that a best friend realtionship has to be mutual. I couldn't make anyone my "best friend", everyone of my friends seemed close to someone else and my misunderstanding of that kind of relationship preculded me from attempting to get too close to anyone who already appeared to have a "best friend."

Thinking about who I truely consider my 'best friend', who I feel like I can share everything always, I realize I have three people, my mother, my father, and Ed who fulfill that role in my life now. It might sound like that now rules out all my other friends from being close, but by resolving this mental conflict, finishing this quest to find that "BEST FRIEND" role, I can now approach all my friend relationships without demands.

Now that I'm not searching for a best friend, I can enjoy all the wonderful things about each and every one of my beautiful friends.

Just thought I'd share that with you all. Now I don't have expectations for our relationships, I just get to enjoy them. All of them. :D

So yeah. Life is about to get really interesting and busy. I'm now Inland Northwest Area's YWD leader. Yep...really interesting.

So off again!
