Why I Love...

...my friends.

I've said (and written about) this before, but I have some of the best friends in the world.

Yeah, they're crazy. And I mean crazy crazy (Lani...I'm looking at you...LOL). But what would I do without them? I have no idea.

At the onset of PMS Week, when Lady Estrogen had parked her bloated ass on my couch and refused to leave me alone, when I was more than likely to be down on myself and second-guess myself and feel like there's just me and no one else around to support me, they surrounded me and became my rainbows at the end of a nasty, messy rainstorm.

So I thought that I should give them a shout out. It's always nice to have good things to say once in a while...


My Baby Sister:

I consider her a friend, too, and recently, when I was feeling particularly down about something, she offered me wisdom from one of her favorite scriptures: "Speak the truth in love."


And I really appreciated it.


Jack:
He can take my angry/sad/hurt tears and turn them into ones of hilarious laughter, while still keeping it real.


Lani:
She helps to remind me to stay focused and centered and to release all the negativity around me. And yeah, sometimes we do that with a few shots of Tequila, but focused and centered we get.


L:
Real talk if I've ever heard it- she pulls no punches and pulls the mask off all the boogie-men I'm afraid of and says, "see? It's just a guy in a costume." And then everything just falls into place.


*smooches...smothered in positive energy. Here, have some...*

I get by with a little help from my friends...
