Best Friends

What does it mean to be a friend?

I believe, like love, everyone has their own definition
Mine is a person whom I can trust, is loyal, reliable, and someone that places either little or no judgment on what I do - someone who can tell me their honest opinion without fear

Now, that is a friend
But what about a BEST friend?

Are they the same thing just the best at the job?

If this is the case, I have three - not one
They all tie for the prize
This is because they each have the qualities that fit my description and much more

Best Friend #1 is just like me
We have the same interests and talk about anything pop culture
She is truly my other half

Best Friend #2 is honest and can read me like a book
With her it's easy to talk about simple things - like music
But she is also the one I talk to with issues that I usually can't tell others
She says her opinion every time but she listens and never tells

Best Friend #3 is outgoing and adventurous
She brings out the best in me and pushes me to be myself in every situation
Although I don't talk to her about personal matters, she is great at giving other advice
She allows me to be myself and push me to do the same in every other aspect of my life

Put together, these three extraordinary people make the perfect or best friend
I have known them pretty much all my life and couldn't imagine my life without them
I am SO thankful to have met these people and I only wish that we stick together forever

I also wish that I have been as good of a friend to them as they have been to me

Consistently Inconsistent

 I've certainly proven that I'm unable to regularly journal or blog. That I'm pulled to write when things are bad or awry or beyond my control, but rarely in a time where I feel joy, happiness or am at peace with things. We all know I'm here, journaling again, because I'm in my head. Feeling. Reflecting. Likely overthinking. As to be expected - consistently inconsistent.  I've been pushing myself for months now. Focusing on doing more, achieving more, earning more, finding more....always more . And I am so t i r e d. Somewhere along the way of trying to redefine myself and achieve goals I had set for myself, I lost sight of why I was doing things. What was motivating me. Why I set these goals. 

Tick Tock

Tick Tock Tick tock That's the sound I hear, every time I debate changing something. That's the sound I hear when I wonder if the work I'm doing is enough It's the sound I hear when I wonder how I can make a bigger, better impact It's the sound I hear when I question my purpose and abilities Tick Tock…Tick Tock…Tick Tock. Over and over, I hear that same sound. Am I ready for a car? A house? A family? Tick Tock.  Will I ever be?

Simplicity

I understand so many of us live incredibly busy lives.  I myself am a full-time university student, trying to keep my average above 70, hoping to start a new volunteering job, playing intramural sports at my university, and maintain my close relationship with my family, friends, and Wallee (inside joke/story! you know who you are).  I know of people that work two jobs, others that are in school full-time and working one or two jobs, and of course there are those that work full-time.  We all have our own additional stressors and troubles, which often cause us to become tense and uptight, moody, forlorn, wistful, nostalgic, and are simply draining mentally and emotionally. When I reflect on my life right now, I realize there are times I don't exactly enjoy it.  I'm not a fan of the way education is taught, graded, and judged and that often causes me displeasure in my studies.  Sometimes I just get run down, tired, and sick of all the pressure.  I'm sure man...
