friends

I'm leaving for school in two days!

These last few weeks, I've been hanging out with my friends from high school and church and such. And it's been quite hectic if I do say so myself. I guess I didn't realize how many friends and how much support I had. I'm not necessarily "popular' in any way.. It's just that when I was in elementary and middle school, I struggled a lot with my friends and many times felt very alone and lonely. But through high school, I was able to make so many great friendships. I'm so grateful for all of the people that have supported me throughout the years and the only thing that really makes me sad about leaving my home town is the support network that I have here. Especially my church friends that I recently have been spending a lot of time with. But in two days; I will be making new friends and new support networks. It's scary, but I'm looking forward to this new beginning 

^ bye bye until next time 

alstroemeria: the friendship flower

This flower is the representation of friendship, similar to how roses are the flower which symbolizes love. I watched this Jubilee Project Fellowship Short Film, entitled Alstroemeria. I was reminded upon the importance of friendship. It reminded me how even one friendship can be so valuable and sometimes is the thing that keeps us sane. Last week I met up with a couple of friends whom I haven't seen in a couple of months. It was so enjoyable in their company and reassuring that they are looking out for me, even if I don't see them all the time. I think friendships, like flowers, can be beautiful and bring joy, but are also very delicate and can die without proper care. Sometimes I take for granted the friendships I have with other people. I think I have to make sure I'm not stepping on the flowers around me, but appreciate and nurture the valuable friendships that I have.
