F is for Family and Friends

This is one of the posts that will have no relation to books. Or maybe it will, if I can squeeze it in. But I thought, family and friends make up almost our whole lives. What better way to appreciate them than by dedicating a post especially to them?

Let's begin with family.

I love my family. Though I don't show it, they really have helped me so much. I am really grateful to each and every one of them. Especially my mum. I don't think I could ever tell her, but honestly, without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. Yes, it isn't far, given that I'm just 17. But she has taught me almost everything that is really important.

Recently, she's been really annoyed with me for not spending time with the family. Idk, it's difficult to do anything about it. I do love being out with my friends! I'm trying to make everything right, but sometimes, it just isn't easy. Though they probably will never see this, I want to say thank you so very much for being my family. I thank God that you people make up my family and I wouldn't have wanted it to be any other way. No matter what my actions say, just know that I love you guys!

Alright, now let's go to friends!

My friends are who I spend most of my time with. In school and in church. After all, I'm in school for what at least 10 hours every weekday? And I'm with my church friends for at least 6 hours each week? I'm not someone who can do without friends. I just need that assurance that people like me for who I am. Sure, I have my awesome family. But I just want people to like me because they truly do even though they have no blood relation to me! Of course, like every teenager, I have relationship and friendship problems. Its mainly me though. I just feel as if I'm invading sometimes you know. I mean, they were all friends first then I started hanging out with them!

Most have accepted me and are really really nice to me! But one of them doesn't really seem happy about it! Oh well, I've tried my best to mend it, but I can't! Besides, this isn't a post to rant but rather, to thank. I'm really grateful for all my friends too. They have all touched me one way or another, as cliche as that sounds. I mean, they have no reason to like me, I don't see myself as particularly likable, especially now, when I'm in my insecure mood. But yet they still do. And they are so nice to me! I'm still always worried that one day they will all leave me because I'm too annoying or whatsoever. I guess that just shows that I need to trust more.

So yeah, I just wanted to thank you guys! You all have always been a comfort to me, in a way that my family is unable to do so. Because you guys have no reason to like me or be nice to me, yet you all are. You guys rock:)

Ok! I think I've come to the end of my post! Wow, quite a long one this time. And a little personal haha:) I just figured since no one I know will ever see this, at least, hopefully no one, it's alright to say something:) I'm not a very open person in real life, though I may seem to be? Alright, I shan't waste your time listening to me ramble on and on without stopping.

So, what do you love most about your family and friends?
