Let the healing begin.
There are a few things in life worth holding onto- no matter what.
Friendship is one of these things, and recently Liesel emailed me something which puts it quite nicely:
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Last week I came very close to losing a friend. It made me shit myself, (Not literally of course). However the realisation that much of my anger was caused by knowing that I was losing a friend, has made me more determined to hold onto it. Pain and anger are destructive, and there are no long term gains that can be achieved by allowing yourself to give into them. Love and friendship on the other hand, are what make humans capable of great things. (Whoa! That's some deep shit Grant- has a little chuckle to himself- then chuckles again when realising that I'm speak of myself in the 3rd person)
I have learnt a lot about myself recently. I've learnt that I am capable of feeling intense emotions which literally consume me, I've learnt that, of these emotions, I am not capable of hate. I've learnt that being a good person above all else, is the only way I ever want to spend the rest of my life. I've learnt that one of the best things about friends is when they remind you that they care.
To all my friends:
Thank you, and always know I got your back!
So, the Squirrel is back- a bit battle hardened- but back nonetheless. So a quick recap of my weekend:
Sharks!!!
Proteas!!!
Man United!!!
England??? WTF! Didn't see that coming.
TopOf.co.uk!!! Coming soon!!! Six hour marathon meeting to iron out some faults!
Hangover- Oops I did it again! (Best dancer ever)
Held onto a friend.
