Now, most people say it’s better to handle this shit for yourself, let your demons run their course, eat you alive, and then you can get back to your own reality. But in real reality, if you handled every shit storm that came rolling through your life all the time by yourself, you’d go mentally crazy. You’d start to think you drove everyone away. I’ve got three left. Three people who keep my world going, three people who keep me sane. I respect them for doing their own thing, and I know that no matter where they go, we’ll always have each other. They make my life better because they are there even when they are not. It’s a mental feat in itself to expect them to be there every step of your damn day, but that was what your mother was for. Friends don’t need to be there all the time, they just need to exist within your heart to live on next to you for eternity. That’s what friends do. They are there even when they are not. Because you know somewhere in the world, they were wishing they were next to you, making you laugh, buying you drinks you know you can’t handle, that’s what they are there for; changing the world one minute at a time within your stupid human head.
Knowing you're not alone can mean life or death for some people. Having friends that can show you the difference and that you're worth it can change your life in so many ways. Don't change yourself, because your friends will accept you no matter who you've grown to be. They will love you no matter what takes them far away from you. They are there in you.
