Dear Yalena,

I want us to be friends until all our hairs are silver-gray and we have enough memories to drown a cruise ship. I have heard that one should be able to count ones true friends on ones fingers. I’ve often had delusions about the life-line of many of my friendships which I now call acquaintances. Sometimes thinking that they would each last forever. But realistically not all are meant to be and some simply not strong enough to weather whatever difficulties that occur. To me the importance of having many friends has just become less and less important as I’ve grown older and I’m no longer concerned with the number of friends I have but rather the quality of the friendships build. To me it doesn’t matter who came first and who I called my first best friend. What matters is who has stayed close to me through the thick and thin, who has stayed with me until the end. I think that a true friend is someone who is happy and proud of your accomplishments and will always share with your joys as well as your sorrows. This last year I have learned that distance is not a hindrance to a friendship if you really treasure it. It’s important that both keep an effort 2 keep in touch and update each other on what’s going on in eachotherz lives, no detail being insignificant. Rumor has it that you seldom find true friends but if your lucky enough to be blessed with just one or two hold on to them because duh they are hard to find. Therefore my beautiful thoughtful friend I’m holding onto u because until now I have never meet anyone that gets me or understands me like you do.
The whole point of having a blog I guess is so that people can catch up with your daily triumphs. Give them a little insight into the way your mind works and let them view your progress. Namely it’s for me to check up on you lol. I know you just had a bad day and we both know who is to blame but even if they don’t mean to emotionally tear us apart they often do so unknowingly. I know what your going through right now and you know my thoughts and I guess letting go of those nostalgic memories is sometimes easier said than done.

Last night, god knows why, I was thinking about how easy it is for kids to get along and play with each other without having to give a shit about who the other person is, as long as they function enough to play. Sometimes I wish that on myself only to simplify things. But then there would be no great appreciation for real friendship, basically what I’m saying is that I’m glad that your not always functioning like the other kids which makes you special in my book. You’re my angel on earth and I love you all the way to the moon.

love u always xxxx Bettina
