"Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
I can’t possibly ask for anything more from the very people I consider my truest friends. Thank you for comforting me, uplifting me, wasting time with me, laughing with me, watching me cry, letting me rant, arguing with me, forgiving me, rescuing me when I had no money, no sleep, no friends, no strength, no confidence in myself.
When I asked them if they could attend my graduation ceremony, it actually took me about a week to muster up the courage to ask for such a favor. I hate asking people for things, and asking them to come to my graduation would mean waking up uber early, driving an hour+ just to sit through couple hours of speech after speech and watch a tiny ant-sized version of me walk across a stage for 30 seconds. Almost immediately I got responses back with genuine Of Course!s and it completely made my day. There is no one else I’d rather spend such a momentous milestone with than these very people. Each of them have been there with me at my highest and lowest; they’ve seen the best and certainly the worst of me and still accepted me as I am.
I sincerely love these friends from the bottom of my selfish and totally conditional, human heart.
