What we see depends mainly on what we look for

I was sitting looking at some old conversations I had with my friends on Facebook over the past year. So much has changed. Some of the people who used to be the best of friends don’t even talk anymore. Some people used to be so against drinking and drugs, and are now right into them. Some people I’m not friends with anymore, and some people I’m better friends with now than I ever used to be.
I can’t believe how crazy this year has been. Now that it’s coming to an end, it’s hitting me just how much has really changed.
Some people I’m so thankful to still have in my life, and some people I’m sad are gone. There have been some really hard times and some really good times.
Reading the conversations last night, I’ve realized who my true friends are, and who the people are who were never really there for me over the year. Last night opened my eyes to some things I’ve been blind to for a while.
There are a few people in particular with whom I’ve had the pleasure of spending a lot of time lately, and I know now more than ever how much they mean to me. How much they’ve been there for me and how much I could never live without them. I think if they’re reading this they’ll know who they are.
It’s been a crazy year and I have no doubts we’ll have many more crazy years ahead of us. But now that I know that these people will always be there for me, I don’t feel afraid anymore.
