Jessica, thank you. I appreciate all that you've done for my life. Without your support, I wouldn't be alive today.
And hey, I mean that. I mean that in a broad type of way. We take other people as a type of commodity, especially 'friends.' Friends are there, more so than anything, to verify that you are alive, you are real, and you are worthy of love. But so often do I hear that "my friend fucked me over blah blah blah" or "my friend is such a bitch because blah blah blah." I think we all (me included) have a bad tendency to forget that, in reality, our friends are an intrigal part of our life force. Friends look at your personal perspective of things and dig it, like it, appreciate it, and maybe even believe it (god-forbid). That type of interaction is the source of strength and vitality. That type of interaction is the source of love.
Okay, this is getting a bit cheesy, but nevertheless, I rever this type of talk as being 'true.' I'm always on the assault of "I DON'T NEED NOBODY TO TELL ME SHIT, OR TO HOLD MY HAND! I'M 100% SELF-SUFFICIENT!!!" But that's not true, and everyone knows it. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that your friends control, at large, part of your life-force. Yo, you CAN survive alone. You CAN live your entire life as a self-hating reject of everything, but what-the-fuck? I don't consider that state of existence a state of being 'alive.'
So this does give meaning to the old cliche "choose your friends wisely" because that's fucking good advice right thurr.
I get hella-attitude. My attitude gets really fucking stuck-up at times. But nevertheless, I'm not about to say that I can live without my friends.
Let the faries play! |
