I'm not looking for perfect. I'm looking for real.
Isn't it funny how easy or hard it is to say hello to a person? Then years later, you realize that that hello changed a lot in your life.
I guess I'm being sentimental. The thing is I've met and had a lot of friends growing up. I couldn't seem to keep a best friend though. Drifting apart tends to happen.
I thought it was a curse. That maybe there was something wrong I needed to change. For the record I still don't know the answer. Constantly learning and growing as a person is a choice I have to make everyday.
But the thing is, if you ask me, I still feel blessed. The best kinds of friends I had (some I still have) are those that aren't perfect and caused me the greatest pain.
Because while we did hurt each other, we somehow ended up where we are now. And the fact that even after going through a lot of tough moments and misunderstandings and hating and drama, we still ended up reaching out to each other in high and low moments, even now and going forward. Because we know of each other's characters. We know we both aren't perfect but we're both real. And I'd take a real but imperfect friendship than one that seems perfect on the outside but actually has a lot of kept feelings any day.
Thank you.

Haha. :D
