Ya, I know its been a while since I did this whole blog thing, but hey, it's Christmas break and I've got nothing better to do. Plus, I've been thinking about some stuff lately and writing it down always helps. One thing I've thought about during the semester is friendship and love. Now, I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can't truly love somebody unless you know their faults, where they've come up short, and the parts of their lives where they struggle, and still love them anyway. As my dad once stated, "my wife knows me better than anyone else and she chooses to love me anyways."
But how much of a friend can you be if you don't know those things about people either. Yes, you can have friends that don't know you deepest, darkest secrets and that's fine. But my guess would be that if you thought of your best friend, part of the reason why they are your best friend is because they know certain things about you and choose to be your friend anyway. There is something special about a friend who knows your weaknesses, faults, and struggles and chooses to like you anyway.
Well, God has blessed me with some awesome new friends this semester, and although I'm not about to spill my guts right now, there's always been something attractive to me about a friend who knows my weaknesses and struggles and hangs out with me anyway (shout out to Vegas PLIA and 2011 IH Staff!). So as I enter this three weeks with no homework, I hope to tackle some questions I've been thinking about throughout the semester and write about them. I'm an honest person and I enjoy talking about my difficulties and struggles with people; it helps to get it out in the open, plus then I feel like they know the REAL me. Hope you enjoy :)
