You learn after going through guy after guy that your girls are the ones to rely on. My best friend became my boyfriend and i miss that everyday. But this year has taught me, through my own mistakes and my experiences with others, to never put a guy before your girlfriends because in the end your girls will be the ones by your side no matter what. After ruff days and nights a dinner date with the girls can be just what you need to pick yourself up again. I was always the girl who was ‘one of the guys’ but this year as seen me explore the girl inside of me and develop my relationships with my girls. I have friends from various places; uni, netball, work and those that have been in my life for years. I like it like this its nice to have different types of friends with different life experiences and ensures that you dont get caught in one group or alone when things dont work out. The best thing about this year is that i have found those friends that i can truly rely on. I’ve developed new friendships, rekindled old ones and been through numerous ups and downs, but the one thing that i truly value is the deepened level of friendship i have experienced with girls I’ve known for years. I mean its always nice to know your not starting completely from scratch and that there is some people around you who get you, have seen you change and understand why you are the way you are. They say you have friends for a reason, friends for a season and friends for life. This year i have definitely been able to identify the difference and use this to ensure i make the most of every opportunity. Tonight i had a dinner date with a friend who will be going away for a while but we have been friends for years now and i know that when she comes back we will be able to take off from where we left off, like nothing has changed. They are the best kinds of friendship. Ones that support you, get you and will never alter no matter the distance or space of time. I mean when you can catch up and babble on for 3 hours without a breath it is almost like a cleansing session! This friend today made me feel worth while and a good friend, in fact she made me sound amazing, despite all the doubt that has fallen upon me this past year. It’s always nice to have someone who understands what you have felt and what is going through your head. I truly appreciate the friends i have made this year and i appreciate those girls who are there for me through it all. It’s always a good feeling to walk away and know you’ve found a longtime friend. I guess in the end its nice to know your not alone and to walk away knowing your valued.
