Life is good

I feel so blessed to have the life that I have. There are so many ups and downs but I don't think that I would have it any other way. The bad times makes me appreciate the good times that much more. There are people that have come  in and out of my life and each one have taught me a new lesson. AND for whatever reason I haven't kept them in my life but I will forever hold them in my heart because of all that they have taught me. So for that I'm grateful to have had those experiences. Through each adversity that I've conquered, I know I am worth it and that I am strong enough to make it through anything.

Love is friendship caught on fire

Girl Talk: I Fell In Love With My Best Friend | The Frisky:

"Two days later, I showed up at his apartment with a homemade pumpkin pie I made him for his birthday. When he leaned over to kiss me for the first time, I almost started laughing. This was Ethan, the man I had gotten to know so well over the past eight months, my best friend. With Josh I used to feel nervous and self-conscious. I’d hold in my stomach and make sure I was always wearing makeup, even in the morning. With Ethan, I didn’t have to fake anything. I remembered the expression, “love is friendship caught on fire.” That’s what had happened, we caught on fire."

I think that's what love is supposed to feel like. It's supposed to feel comfortable and honest. I think it's supposed to feel like you can truly be who you are without any hesitation. I think more often than not, we try to be the perfect fit for someone else that we loose ourselves along the way. By loosing ourselves, we can't ever be truly happy. So, by forming a deep friendship, we can be happy in more ways than one. We can be ourselves while sharing our lives with that special someone.
