I'm Always Here..

Have you ever had a friend that always seemed to busy to hang out, chit chat, return calls, or even respond to a simple text message asking them if they were still alive? I have a few friends like that. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that people are busy and have their own lives to live. But it amazes me how one friend never has time to talk unless I'm talking about going to the club. What kind of friendship is that?

I have another friend who is unhappily married with a child. He works an insane number of hours due to being in the medical profession, yet whenever he realizes too much time has gone by, he sends me a text or calls to let me know he's okay. I wouldn't say that I'm a worry-er, I just like to know that those nearest and dearest to me are being taken care of...darn maternal instincts.

I have one friend, an ex, who actually left my life for a few months just to get himself together. He didn't understand how I could always be there for him despite the way he treated me in the past. It was precisely at that moment that I realized I had been given an amazing gift. I may not be the smartest nursing student or the best pharmacy technician. I can't run a marathon or bike the Tour de France. But I can be an understanding friend. I can be a hugger, a shoulder to lean on, a person to share laughs (and tears) with. I am a friend. No matter what someone may put me through, I understand the meaning of true friendship.

At the end of the day, I'm the friend who is always there no matter what.

It's Never Too Late Or Too Early to Be Who You Want To Be

Hello Loves! I know I've been out of sight for a while, but I'm back now. I had a lot of stuff going on with work, school, living arrangements, family stuff, and medical problems. My spirit has been recharged and I am ready to face the world again.

I am looking forward to Friday. I have an awesome new apt w/ an awesome new roomie. This will provide me with an opportunity to learn what it's like to share and compromise. 'Cause Lord knows that I don't do either of those well. I am hoping and wishing this works out because he is definitely someone I would love to keep around. Our personalities mesh and we're both going through life jumping the hurdles as they come. My hopes for our future:family forever. I hope that Tiki becomes the brother I never had.

In other news, the job hunt isn't going well. I refuse to give up. Patience and faith. When the perfect job comes along, I'll be ready. Until then, nursing school will be my life. I'm more determined now than I have been my entire life.

I've missed you guys sooo much. I'm back and ready to face the challenges of today. Remember, it's never too late or too early to be who you want to be. Life is full of "todays"; make this one count.
