they come and go......
I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.
Reality
Recently I’ve found myself bogged down in the real world. All my head space has been taken up by thoughts on money, my education, my job, what my choices are for the future, my relationship, my friendships and all the petty drama that surrounds day-to-day life. It’s all worry, worry, worry, and few of the things I worry about are things I can actually control right now. I don’t know if I’ll make it through my degree and graduate, but If I’ll give all my best I know I can, I don’t know if I can be a good teacher to my future student, or what kind of job I’ll have, and I don’t know if my relationship with my boyfriend will last in the long-term; these are simply wait and see things that I can’t figure out now. I make myself so unhappy thinking and worrying about all these things. My brain seems to take this as a signal to suddenly start shouting every problem I have, expecting a solution where there are none.
I used to be such a dreamer. My favorite pastime was daydreaming. I was constantly told I was too much inside my head; but I liked it there, I was happy. Is it that the older you get, the less you live in your own world and are forced to live in the real one, the less happy you are?I just realize today that i am a REAL DREAMER, that this is what makes me happy, that’s how long its been since I’ve let myself relax and just imagine whatever makes me happy; to see my life positively. Because most of the time I am steeped in the reality, which seems to only be stress and struggle, and quite mundane.
But now I remember it doesn’t have to be like that, I can sit back, close my eyes, and create the life I want to have, experience things out of my reach right now. Even just the thought of going to my own made up life for just a little while has lifted my spirit. Sometimes I guess all you can do is tell yourself that the worries you have can’t be helped right now, and retire to a good daydream, filled with hope and happiness.
