I turn to you


There comes a time when one stops and says I give up. Giving up isn't always a bad thing. Often it's the most freeing thing we can do for ourselves in fact. As I continue to learn more about myself; in essence finding out who I am, I am reaching new levels. I've harbored hurt & angry feelings over some major events from the past 4 years. I do feel I am justified in my feelings. Those that know the stories of the past years know what I am saying. There's no point in going through the "issues" during the course of that bleak time in my life.

Today I am happy and proud to say that we have pressed on and moved on from the pain of the past when it comes to our friendship. And I honestly thank God for allowing things to happen the way they did. I found my backbone and became one with myself. Now I enjoy a great friendship with Bradley. For whatever the reasons, we now understand the past is the past. What can be done to change it now? I refuse to be weighed down by those past offenses. In him I have found a great friend and confidant. I find inspiration from his heart and willingness to grow and make a difference. I want to surround myself by people and friends who have dreams bigger than their present existence. People who believe in things bigger than themselves are the ones you can really rely on in hard times. That is exactly the kind of person Bradley is. Always urging me to give it another try, to keep on track. When I lose the will to win, he's there pushing me to the finish line. The last 6 months have been extremely rough at times. Luckily I had him there, as one of my best friends. I feel as though from the ashes of a broken and severed friendship, a solid insurmountable one has risen. Nevermind how we got to this point, because the point is we're here now.

And when I need a friend you're always on my side
Giving me faith, taking me through the night...
