Today I met up with
an old friend. We've been friends since elementary school. We parted ways for
some years while in high school but we reconnected again and we've tried
keeping in touch ever since. We try to
meet up at least every six months and of course we keep up to date with social
media and messaging/phone calls.
Lately I've been
going through some stuff. I told her today "they tell you that nursing
school will be hard but they never say it can drive you crazy". And that's
how I feel, like I'm going crazy! My brain is on information overload. So much
so that I seriously needed to vent and talk it out. Problem was I didn't know
who to turn to. So when she messaged me about getting together I thought
"um…". And sure thing our meeting was a blessing in disguise.
You see I have trust
issues. I don't tell everyone my problems or worries and that's not good
because it starts to drive me crazy. I was even a bit scared to talk to her but
it felt so natural I couldn't help it. What made it even a greater experience
that her word meant everything. Her advice and opinions were sincere. She truly
listened and instead of judging me she laughed with me. We laughed together at
my craziness and it felt so good. Laughter really does the soul good. So on
this 3rd day of Thanksgiving my
thankfulness goes this this amazing woman who I cherish very much.
Thank you old
friend. We have come a long way and I look forward to the years ahead. We
really are going to grow old and be bestows in our 80s ;)
