Power of Friendship

It's amazing what the power of friendship can do to a person. I mean, just talking to my best friend totally changed my mood. Getting together with her; drinking, laughing, smoking, swimming in the lake, and bullshitting until 6 a.m. was absolutely incredible! It was like every care, every worry, every burden had been lifted off me. I felt like I had escaped from the chaos that my life seemed to become. It was empowering talking to her. Being in her presence, I felt there was NOTHING that I couldn't accomplish and there was NOTHING I couldn't do. I told her I appreciate her being that true friend who said "yeah, you screwed up big time, but I always have and I always will love you, because you are my sister". She told me that she really looks up to me and is proud of me for telling the truth and standing up to everyone and openly admitting that "yes, I made a mistake, but I am sorry and I am trying to make it better". She told me that I am one of (if not the) strongest people she knows, and I told her that the only reason I am that strong, is because I have a friend like her, always at my back. Friendship is an amazing thing, and I feel blessed to have found someone like her, that I can not only call my bestfriend, but my sister.
