unspoken words

I think good friends are hard to come by. Like real, always be there for you, tell you how it is, ride or die friends, they’re so hard to come by. Everyone says they’re your friend, but it’s not until something really goes down when you start seeing just who you’re true friends are. To me a good friend does not always agree with what you say. They have their own opinions and are comfortable enough with you to voice them when they feel necessary. A bad friend will agree with what you say most of the time, but will spend more time telling other people how wrong you are. A good friend will be there as much as they can through the bad times in your life. They will offer you an ear that listens or a shoulder to cry on. A good friend will help to find solutions or options, they will never judge or point fingers.

I believe that life is too short to live with hate, it’s to short to live with grudges. I don’t want to be mad at dumb things, nor do I want to live my life without my problems beings resolved. It’s crazy how fast time goes, it’s crazy how fast people leave. One minute you have them, and the next day you don’t and it’s not until they’re gone that we then realize just how much we loved them. There are times when we take not only our relationships for granted but the very people that make them up for granted as well. And by relationships, I mean any relationship you may have. We should not but we do constantly because whether or not we wish to admit it people are selfish by nature. We’re all so worried about ourselves, that we don’t take the time out to make sure things are okay, to make sure people aren’t being forgotten.

I have had so many people leave my life so unexpected, it’s been 4 years since my aunt passed away while she was on vacation, with no family around and still till this day I think about the last thing I said to her before she left. Although the circumstances weren’t in my favor, I knew I had showed her my love in every way possible, but it gave me comfort to know that before she left the last thing I said was “I Love You” I knew it made her smile. It didn’t come to my realization until later that those were the last words I said before she passed, but at that moment, at that time right then and there I knew that life was to short. I know we are not perfect, and I know we all have differences, but whether it’d be your dad, or mom, or brother, or sister just remind them of how much you love them.
