I have always considered myself a good friend.
I am extremely loyal, loving, honest,
a shoulder to cry on and a ton of fun!
I have been through my fair share of friendship troubles.
High school was a roller coaster of highs and lows
when it came to friends.
But now that I can look into the past,
I realize I am a better friend because of the experiences
I went through.
Flashback to Mel's 20th birthday!
After celebrating one of my close college friends
birthdays this past weekend,
I gained some astounding, yet not surprising, insight.
We all want to be wanted
I expect a lot out of my relationships.
If I feel I am putting forth more effort than the other person,
that's a problem.
It all comes back to human nature,
we all want to be wanted.
That is why we are constantly searching for love,
compliments, friendships, and a place to belong.
As humans, we are not perfect.
This is something I tend to struggle with
when it comes to my expectations of people.
I will never find the perfect relationship here on earth.
We will continuously be looking
to fill the emptiness which can only be made whole
by the love of Christ Jesus.
People will let you down.
Period.
But I hope and pray that I can be the
kind of friend I would want to have
no matter what the circumstances.
With all of this being said,
I want to take the time to apologize
to those I was not a good friend to.
We all need time to grow and come to terms with
our mistakes and hopefully
do our best to avoid those same mistakes in the future.
I have been given some amazing friends
who mean the world to me
and make me believe that
I can have loving, lasting friendships!
So thank y'all for that!
Sorry for such a deep post,
but I am just trying to keep it real!
Happy Monday!
Love y'all!
