They never failed to impress me with their kindness and selflessness. Although they are so different and special to me on so many different levels, that is something they all have in common. Each one of them helped push up a different side of mine.
There were times when I felt completely lost and they helped me remember who I really am. Because they are the only ones who truly know me.
There were times when I felt completely broken and they would lift me up. Because they are the only ones who know who I am meant to be.
That's my favorite part of myself. That although it always scared me to let someone in, I was able to let in these people who I connected so deeply with that they became portions of my heart without me even realizing it. I'd like to think I'm part of them too. Life gives you the opportunities but it's up to you to connect the pieces.
I will not take them for granted. I understand how incredibly lucky I am to have them. I know that, wherever life takes me and whatever challenges come my way, I don't have to go through them alone. Never again.
