Best Friends are the best! ;)

I have had many friends come and go throughout my life. Some I thought I'd have forever. People change. We all make stupid decisions sometimes and hurt each other...sometimes people don't have the capacity to forgive. There are other times when we just grow apart due to distance, life changes, or different lifestyles. I am lucky that I have found true friends that I trust and love with all my heart. It took a while, but it seemed that as I got older...friends just fell into my lap. I just click with people sometimes and can better recognize toxic friendships. I also used to want everyone to like me and this was the root of a lot of my sadness growing up. Some girls just didn't like me in high school. I had a few bullies- one girl, even a couple years ago, randomly saw me at a clothing store and made a point to make a snide comment. Of course, this woman has deeply rooted issues and her anger has nothing to do with me and everything to do with how she feels about herself. With all of that being said, there is one friend I want to talk about. Her name is Jenny. Jenny del Rosario is a one of a kind, genuine, human being. We met at a party at our friend, Kellan's house two Halloweens ago. I know I will be friends with Jenny forever. Not only is she super fun and outgoing, she has a huge heart. We aren't completely alike in all ways (ie-im vegan..she eats meat ;)) but, her open ears and open heart make her compassionate and understanding to anyone who is different than her. She's one of those friends that you can talk to for hours on the phone even if you're not a phone person (like me)! Jenny and I lean on each other when we are down and make an effort to see each other to have fun. Those are such an important aspects of a friendship. I believe, for it to work in any kind of relationship, two people have to be willing to meet in the middle and be willing to trust each other. Trust is something that is extremely hard for me. I have been burned by so many women over the years that I am naturally cautious. I don't feel this way about Jenny. Together with our mutual friend (jenny's bestie and roommate Victoria), we created a non profit organization called Pretty Good People. Jenny has a heaping desire to help others and actually does something about it! I admire anyone who has the drive to move forward. Jenny inspires me, makes me happy, and I would trust her with my life. I guess I just wanted to write something about Jenny because I don't think she realizes just how much she means to me. Jenny, I love you. I am always here for you when you are having a hard time or if you just feel like being silly. Cause girl, you know I loves to laugh and be an idiot! You're truly a special being and have made me a happier person just by being you. Yes, I'm sappy...but, I think it needs to be said. oh and call me....we need to play some kinect and eat some thai food.
