I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but I never really came up with the right words to say. But, here it is.
Being a dedicated blogger comes with mountains of responsibilities, lots of controversy and stress, and sometimes it can seem overwhelming. There have been several times that I’ve almost said “Screw this, I don’t want to deal with this shit.”
But then that one things happens that completely turns everything around, and it makes me thankful everyday for blogging, and for continuing to blog. If it hasn’t happened yet, trust me, it will.
The one thing for me was this: I made a friend.
I’ve made several wonderful and fantastic new friends since I started blogging, and I love you all. :-) But there is one friend that I have made that has gone above and beyond what she started out to be. She’s become a confidant, the person I can lean on, a true friend. And that means more to me than any book I could ever read, or whatever else. It’s a great feeling, to know that’s she’s there for me, and I will definitely be there for her, whatever it is.
I still don’t feel like this post completely articulates exactly what I want to say. I don’t think anything ever will, because how can you put friendship into words? But I just wanted to say thank you so much for being my friend.
Goes both ways, Ash. Thank YOU for being my friend. And my editor. And plain INSPIRATION. I am and forever will be in awe of you! <3
