I never really thought I'd end up completely rewriting a blog entry. But I reread it and felt like it was way all over the place and not what I wanted at all.
True friendship is so precious; it's amazing what real friendships can survive. When you find people who accept you with everything that comes with you; with all the bullshit & pain; with the heartache and intense past; that's when you know you've found true friends. I'm happier with my handful of true friends than I could ever be with a hundred "friends" - who didn't really know me & who I didn't really know.
Friendship is definitely not about who you've known the longest. It's about who will be by your side when no one else is and who won't leave, even if you tell them to, when they know you shouldn't be alone. I feel so blessed to be able to say I have friends like this.
I've always been different; I've never had a problem staying in, reading a book while people are out partying. I like to be alone, sometimes I need to be alone. It's not that I don't love my people, I just love my time with my books, my music, and/or my writing.
Reading is such a beautiful, precious part of my life. Books are so amazing; what they can offer - what they can teach you. They can be an escape from reality, they can help you understand your reality, or someone else's. I just wish more people loved reading the way I do. There are so many amazing books and authors; I wish I could have them all.
Some books are my like my best friends. I can read them over and over and never get tired of it: of course, the entire Harry Potter series are definitely in this category. I love getting to know characters, some books I've read so much that I really feel like I know them. Books can never ditch you, hurt your feelings, or stab you in the back. I love it.
