Appreciation.

I have a lot in life to appreciate and I've been thinking about this a lot lately, but I'm a very lucky person. I'm happy and everything in my life is better than I could've imagined. The people and all they have to offer are probably what makes life truly worth living.

I've been struggling with self-confidence and the ability to stand up for myself or get the strength to ask for help with anything, but there are certain people in my life that I truly trust and they are my everything even if they can't always tell.

I think I'm starting to gain back my self-esteem and it's a great feeling. I think I have my friends and family to thank for that, but I also have to give myself some credit whether that seems conceited or not.

There are a lot of people that I've come across in my life that are there regularly and there are those that come and go, but when they come back it's as if they've never gone and I know that they're truly my friend for that. Also, someone recently said that they have to make an effort to see their best friend everyday in a complaining kind of tone, but I thought that it was nice because by making the effort really shows how good of friends they are. Making the effort. And even when someone is too busy and it seems like they make very little effort, it doesn't mean they aren't your friend. It just means life is busy and hectic and that's life. It happens and we just have to go with it, but we can't let the hard times get us down. Make the most of life. That seems like the most important lesson to be learned right now.

I just want to let all my friends out there know that I appreciate and truly love every one of you no matter how often I see you... you have made a major impact on my life and I'd be nothing without you.
