Another week, another article right on time for thanksgiving.
Usually I would have been racking my mind, wondering about what topic I would
talk about but the fuckery I went through this past week (and I am still going
through) made my topic of the day a no brainer. I am typing this, waiting for
to board my flight and I realize that besides being alive and the many blessings
God has poured into my life, I have never been as grateful for friends and
family as I am today. I have been blessed to meet a lot of people in my life:
some of them are still in the picture, some are gone but I but I can take pride
in the solid squad I have been a member of and I am forever grateful for it.
As I was watching Sex and the city few days ago it has struck me how important having friends to support you is important. A soulmate is great but only your friends can see passed the hype of being in a relationship and help you stay grounded. True friends won’t judge you for being you. They will understand why you act a certain way or why you say certain words. They will know what sets you off and if they ever hurt you they will apologize sincerely because your relationship is more important than any disagreement you may have. True friends will know when things are not okay despite without even mentioning it. They will notice that little crack in your voice when you say hello, they will notice how your hug is tighter than usual. They will know by looking into your eyes because your eyes are the mirror of your soul and because they know your soul, they will see the broken pieces floating.
They will be there to hold you when you fall apart and they
will help you pick up the pieces. They will wipe your tears, pour you a drink
(if they must) and tell you “you will be okay” while stroking your hair, feed
you when you refuse to eat because your heartbreak is unbearable and you can’t
just find the strength to keep going and just want to starve yourself to death…
But most importantly they will be there to pray for you. And it might have
seemed trivial years ago but getting older, I realized how important it is,
especially in times where you are so heart and soul broken than you can’t even
say a word. You just need that one person who is going to hold your hand and
pray for you, asking God to fill you with his love and make you whole again.
and if they ever are to meet with somebody who hurt you so bad or did you wrong, they will make sure they curse that person if they ever run into them in the street because they love you and because perhaps they know the exact words you wanted to say but never did because you were too hurt to say.

A true friend will also be there in the good time because “ a
friend loves at all times”. They will be there to share your happy moments,
your accomplishments. And if they cannot be there, there is a good chance that
they have helped you along the way whether it was by keeping you accountable
and helping you focus on your objectives or by believing in your even in times
where you didn’t. or even by sending you that “break a leg” text before that
interview for that job you were so stressed about and ended getting.
Because friendship is not about the big things, but rather
about consistency in the small one.
To the ones who stood by me and helped me get back on my feet
when I couldn’t do it on my own. Thank you! I am grateful for every single one
of you and I pray that God bless you beyond what your mind can conceive.
Much love and happy thanksgiving!
