loosing a close friend
14 years ago
<explosions, pure explosions>
So bittersweet news here folks.
My best friend in the whole fucking world, a girl who has helped me become the man I am today, Is going on medical leave for a full year. Over break while she was home in india doctors discovered a growth right in her pituitary gland (thats located between her brain and her optic nerves). Good news is she is going to live, bad news is I am not going to be able to see her in person (Skype doesn't count as in person) until Junior year of college since I plan on going abroad. I would rather have her healthy in India than sick in America though.
I cannot stress what this girl means to me. She taught me so much about myself. To embrace my crazy and be proud of it. She showed me that I do not know I have to be so closed off from people (from those of you who have met me url or talked to me online you know that I am anything but closed, you my indian friend to thank for that). That I should not strive for success but rather for excellence because when excellence is the goal success will follow. And the hardest part about this is that she is scared and she feels as though she has lost confidence in herself because her body has betrayed her. She has admitted to me that right now she is weak.
AND HERE IS THE THING PEOPLE, THERE IS COURAGE IN ADMITTING YOU ARE WEAK AND IN COURAGE YOU CAN PLANT A SEED FOR CONFIDENCE.
It's just strange to have the one person always there for you gone.
On a side note, she gave me her guitar to hold onto. Can anyone teach me?

Your going to meet so many people in your lifetime, whether good OR bad, their connection with you has somehow influenced you on some way (whether it may be how you view certain groups of people, how they helped you mold your view on life, etc).
Try to stay in contact with her, but if you somehow lose contact with her, just remember that she has indeed helped you in ways that have helped you deal with life a little bit easier.
