I decided to write on here. I haven't been on here in awhile, I've realized. I've been beyond busy, and haven't been able to get my words out on paper, screen, whatever.
I want to say this last week and a half has been GREAT. I love that a really good friend of mine is able to be out here. I've realized we both need it. She and I have not known each other for long, I met her at efy this past summer. I remember going to efy this past summer, and being excited for going. I had loved the previous year, and was ready for another spiritual week. :) My friend helped me haul my stuff up into the apartment wayy off campus. It was lovely of him, but I kicked him out of the apartment really quickly bc of that little "no boys allowed" rule of efy!
Anyway....lets back up aways. A few weeks beforehand, we had a friend that we were worried about. She had to be in the hospital and we were worried about her being able to make it to efy. So, I went, not knowing if she would be there. It so happened as I went to the apartment a little later, she and her friend were looking for me. I was so excited to see her, that she was able to make it, I really was! I gave her a hug, and then I look at this new girl. I had heard about her before, and knew beforehand that I thought we could be really good friends. When I really looked at her, I had a strange feeling. It felt as if I had been missing a piece of myself, and I didn't realize it was missing, and she had it. And the moment I saw her, I knew...I was supposed to know her. It was exciting! I said "So this is *!" (not using names) I was so happy in that moment. I remember a night at efy, we were in her room, listening to her i-pod and talking about random things, I was just...amazed that we had only known each other for around 3 days. That was it! Even now, I haven't even known her a year, and I feel like its been a lifetime. I am completely blessed to have her in my life, whether or not she realizes it, which I doubt she does.
I am glad she's been able to come out the past week or so, to just be here. We haven't done anything "amazing" we really haven't left Clarksville really... We did go to my Grandpa Pentzer's actually, and had a ton of fun watching filming for a music video! ...we're just together, and having a great 'drama free' time together. We had a scary movie-marathon last week, which has made the two of us petrified of tricycles. (It's hard to explain...it basically comes down to, we are d-o-r-k-s. :D) Its been great. I've learned a little more independance, I've realized that I'm growing up. I'm moving on. I will graduate high school in a couple years, I need to learn who I am. She's helped me realize that, and I love her for that. I know that we'll be friends forever. I TRULY 100% believe that. I hope this visit has helped you too.
