I thought I'd find a clever little quote for this one, and it turns out it was said by a clever man, Plato - a Greek philosopher (yup, that's totally relevant..). I kind of agreed with what it said too, you know, thought that was pretty imporant. Although it may be hard to believe, it probably is true in many situations. I've recently developed new friendships that have broadened my friendship group, something that was well needed after deciding that some of my close friends kind of sucked. I found that listening to different people and chatting and laughing with them allows you to learn about so much more. You hear so many different problems - real problems - as opposed to the usual "he's such a dick" conversation I find myself nodding my head to at least one morning each week, and then asking (even though I really don't care) "hey, didn't you think this last week too? and then didn't you take him back again, like the time before?". And these new problems you listen to seem so much more significant. It has enabled me to share my upsets too, ones pretty much since year 9. I don't really open up much to people because I find my causes of sadness to be minor in comparison to other people's. But someone, that I've only actually gotten close to recently, allowed me to talk about these pathetic stories, and reassured me that they're no biggies and I shouldn't always look at everything so negatively.
Seriously, I always end up laughing with you and, your nasty ways are very much amusing, actually! Many people don't understand my sense of humour, but you grasped it straight away. Thank you for listening to me! And for never failing to turn my too-common frown upside-down :). And for literally following me back into town and staring at the same headbands in Accessorize, even after we'd searched there, as well as every other shop, already. And for telling me a method in which I could figure out my true friends, you legend. Oh, and for leaving me to take the cupcakes, I mean really? ;).
