My Friends

My friends are crazy. The adventures we go on and the messes we get ourselves into are insane. Sometimes at the end of the night, I look back and just laugh my butt off because of what we just did. They get me into more trouble than I would like, but with that said I don't regret a thing.
My friends make me cry and they make me laugh. We go through ups and downs, but at the end of the day we have each other's back. My friends are all uniquely beautiful. All so different in how we look at life, what we have been through, and where we want to go, but yet somehow we are all connected by an invisible thread. Sometimes when I am surrounded by my friends, surrounded by the laugher and the smiles, I sit back and watch. I pretend like I am a stranger and I feel the comradery, the love. I let it wash over me and I can't help but feel my happiest, my purest. My friends are weird and odd. We are like the oddball gang that shouldn't make sense, but yet we all make complete sense.
My friends are kind, smart, amazing, sarcastic, rude, everything that makes a person a person. They aren't perfect, we are all far from perfect, but that's okay. I don't want perfect. Perfect is boring and lonely. I want all the feelings that come along with having my amazing friends. I want to wake up to a drunk call at four in the morning, when they needed me most. I want to wipe away the tears that fall because of some stupid crush. I want to be there for them as much as they are there for me. When I need a shoulder to cry on, they got me. I don't regret all the past failed friendships. Not the ones where we just lost touch and not even the ones that ended in fire. They all helped me grow as an adult, as a women, as a human being just trying to figure it all out on this planet we call home. I figured out who I was because of them. I figured out who I want to be because of them. I figured out that the world is a messy place, but to roll with life and see where it takes me. This is a big shoutout to all my friends. Thank guys, I love you lots. This is going to be one hell of a ride.
