Friends are the salt of the earth. The joy of life. The breath of spring air. The melody line in music. What would a girl do without good friends? Sure, nails would be left unpainted and we'd go crazy from not enough gab time. But in all honesty, I am so thankful for good friends. There is something so wonderful about being uplifted by friends who whole heartedly love you. Who want the best for you and allow you to be 100% yourself. No matter what state you're in.
I thank God for sisters. I feel bad for any girl who doesn't get to experience the blessing of having built in best friends. Right now I'm thinking of ice cream in dark rooms, listening to the rain. I'm thinking of dance parties. I'm thinking about sitting on the roof (and me freaking out). I'm thinking about 3 hour phone conversations. I'm thinking about Gilmore Girls and Friends. I'm thinking about all three of us squooshed on a twin bed. So this is a thank you to my sisses.
Right now, I'm also bursting with gratefulness for wise women! I pray that one day I'll be one! I hope that I can be that loving and wise and kind. That I will have the answers to all of life's problems, that I will remember what it's like to be 19. I know that my life's experiences are teaching me to be someone who can impart love and wisdom by sharing what I've learned. It's amazing to think that one day I will be in their shoes, dealing with a new set of experiences, and other girls will be in my place, feeling things similar to what I feel now. I hope that I will be able to pour into them as much wisdom and love as has been poured into me.
