10:38a - the shannon best friend guide
I just looked at some of the e-mail that I've been neglecting for awhile to find that my best friend Jake e-mailed me back. He's not one for e-mail, whatsoever- in fact, I usually have to sign on his account so that he'll keep an e-mail address since he doesn't have a good connection at him and Alex's apartment. Yet, I had sent him an e-mail that Sarah sent me, and he actually sent it back and told me that I should take what I sent to him to heart because this is what he's been telling me the entire time. He caleld it the "shannon best friend guide" that he's always used. Now he told me I should start taking it to heart:
1. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you
cry.
2. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
3. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your
heart.
4. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing
you can't have them.
5. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is
falling in love with your smile.
6. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the
world.
7. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their
time on you.
8. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right
one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be
grateful.
9. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
10. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do
is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time
around.
11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and
know someone else and expect them to know you.
12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
Remember: Whatever happens, happens for a reason.
And I was thinking a lot about this last night. Not that I had opened up my e-mail, but at the same time, when I was hanging out with some old friends last night, I was realizing how much friendship really meant to some of them. Karen mentioned a song that I had almost completely forgotten that we sat and listened to in Abby's driveway two summers ago. Chaz talked about yearbook and how he remembers how I 'abused' him everday. Michelle and I reflected back on last summer's large party at Abby's house. And Jake and Kristen reminded me about what friendship really means, and that they'll always be there when I need them.
And to Abby- it was so nice to see you again, and it reminded me about why I really missed you. :)
I wish some of my other friends could've shown up, but oh well. I tried by calling, but I didn't get any reply. But for those that did show up, I am very happy that I got to see you all and I've missed you the past couple years. Stay in touch!
current mood:  grateful
