I've always stuggled with self-esteem issues. But, in case you were wondering, this post is not about self-esteem. Its about best friends.
I have two of them. One lives far away, the other lives close. I know they both know about each other and they are both friends to each other. It's awesome actually - I know they both care for each other, so most times I speak with the one that is far away or get together with the one that is close, they ask about the other one. Sometimes, though, I go a week or more not seeing or speaking with either one of these people and thats when the self-esteem drops.
But then, I see a FB post from one that she is going to go out with her "bestie".
And then, one of them calls and leaves a message that goes something like this: "Hey. I keep having to leave messages and you'd think that when a best friend calls, she wouldn't have to keep leaving messages for her best friend and that her best friend would fulfill her duties as a best friend and just call her best friend back. Anyway, I miss you, I love you and call me."
I love my friends.
Do your friends know that you love them??
I totally know what you are talking about. Awhile ago I started writing down the really special compliments, kind words, and thoughtful things people did for me and keeping them in a box. Then whenever I was sad or my self esteem balloon was deflating a bit I would pull them out and remember how much I love. Don't know what happened to that box though...maybe got lost during a move :(
ReplyDeletethat was supposed to say remember how much I was loved. oops :)
