Relationships that last a lifetime.

Friends are literally the best thing you can have in life.
Now, don't kill me, I know I didn't say family.
There's a reason for that.
Family should be your first priority, not your friends, right?
But a lot of people don't have supportive families, and if you do, correct me if I'm wrong, they are your friends then (even if we don't want to admit that Mom is our best friend and our sister is the person you confide in the most).
But really, friends are incredible.
They're the people that know you inside and out.
They know you better than just about anyone else.
They're the ones that stay up until four in the morning because you needed to vent.
They're those people that you can have honest heart-to-hearts with, just because.
Friendship isn't about whether or not you know the person's favorite color, or favorite food, or favorite music (though truthfully, if we're friends and you don't know my favorite music, there's a problem).
It's about knowing the things that will put a smile on your face, or instantly make you angry.
It's about doing those things that will put a smile on your face and avoiding those things that instantly make you angry.
It's about being supportive and loving each other throughout every choice a person makes.
My friends are, in all honesty, the best thing in my life.
I just wanted to say, if you have good friends, never ever ever let anything get in the way of that.

The lyrics.

I've been in a weird mood today. I don't know why or whether this mood is good or bad.
The only thing that I know today is: lyrics are different to me today.
I don't know why. It sounds strange, but music just sounds different today.
I have really weird feelings right now, so many contradicting feelings.
Listening to music has been my entire day today, but the lyrics just feel different today.
I can't explain what's happening to me and I don't know if I like it.
One thing I do know: you hear the music when you're happy, you understand the lyrics when you're not, you love both when you don't know how to feel.

I know this was short and a weird post, but it's just my feelings today.

Out of my comfort zone.

I've been thinking a lot, considering a lot.
I've been trying to decide a few things. These are big decisions. Life-changing decisions really.
I don't have any clarity for the two biggest things. I like knowing what to do. I don't though.
I've been praying about it lately. I still have no idea what to do though.
Decisions and I do not mix well. I'm a very indecisive person and things like this are not good.
God is trying to get me out of my comfort zone with a lot of things lately.
College is a difficult time for me. I don't like being away from home,
From family,
From my friends,
From my cats,
From comfort.
I'm not in my comfort zone anymore, and it's hard.
Maybe I'm just freaking out over simple things, but those simple things mean everything to me and I don't like this.
I'm not saying I don't love college because I totally do. I just wish college was an hour an a half away, at home.
Life is just so different lately and I'm trying to adjust. Then it changes again.
I just can't seem to get adjusted to anything lately.
But I have God. I will continue to pray about these things, and I know that this is all in his plan, so I guess I'll see where all of this goes.

Things in life.

I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to say this somewhere and this seemed fitting.

What I want to say, is that I couldn't love little moments in my life any more than I do.
I know that sounds cliche but really.

I live for singing Hosanna at the top of my lungs in chapel.
I live for sending a random message to a friend telling her that's she's great and I love her just to make her feel a little better.
I live for sitting in my dorm lobby just talking for hours, about everything.
I live for finding a new song to be addicted to and then grow to hate after listening to it constantly.
I live for getting a random piece of candy in my dorm room mailbox.
I live for getting a picture of my kitten sleeping.
I live for feeling like I can trust someone with something I've never told anyone before.
I live for having a completely pointless conversation with great people that end up in us laughing for over ten minutes about it.
I live for seeing the people I love happy.

It's not much, but I wanted to share that.
There are so many little things to love in your life- just look around.
