I titled this what I did for a very good reason. Today I realized who my true friend are, and in fact, who I should give all my thanks to.
In the past few months, I've been struggling to find myself. Trying new things and developing a different attitude. But what I never did was take a good look at myself in the mirror and accept who I really was. Just a kid that likes having fun and enjoying himself.
And today helped me understand that most of my happiness comes from my friendships. Most of them, anyways. I realized that I can't be happy alone, but I can be happy even when I'm in seclusion. You may be thinking: "How is that even possible?". But even when I am alone in the world, the one person that matters most to me is closer to me than any friend or family ever has been. That friend, is Jesus Christ.
But upon further inspection, I realized a lot of my friends, on the contrary, were bringing me down. I need friends who respect me, and encourage me in what I do, and I took a good look in my mind to whom I associate with. Many of them in the past have hurt me, as well as tried to influence me to do things that I know would make my life meaningless. That's not what I want. I need friends like Michael, that say "I know you can do anything you put your mind to." I need friends like Ryan, that say "I'll be praying for you, man. I love you." I need friends like Ben, that say "That wouldn't be a big bang. That'd be like a big sleep!" Although the last one really doesn't fit, but whatever. :]
Anyways, the point I'm trying to get across is that I WANT to live for God. I WANT friends who are going to push me forward in what I do, as well as help me understand that I have the greatest friend in the world always with me. I want more REAL friends. And most importantly...
I want a stronger relationship with my Lord and Savior.
"My best friend is the only friend I've always had. Even when I didn't know he was."
