Today I was thinking of all the hard times I've been through in my life: the loss of a very close member of my family, financial trouble, unemployment and a terrible break-up just to mention a few... I can remember the way each one of these events made me feel and I can see how much I've learnt and grown from all these negative experiences and it really makes me happy to realize that I have the strongest safety net to catch me when I fall: my friends.
I know sometimes they might have got tired of just listening and fighting against my negativity but they always stood by, no matter the bad weather and giving me their advice and strength, making me laugh whenever I felt like crying or just calling to ask how I was. Everytime they did something like that, I could just say "thank you" but maybe I haven't had the chance to really say what all this support meant to me.
I know sometimes it's hard to be a "good friend"; when you have too many things in your mind, it's hard to put all that stuff aside and just listen and give advice, it's not easy to forget about your own trouble to try and solve someone else's but humans have this beautiful thing called "empathy" and it makes us understand exactly how another person feels and as we make that feeling our own, we are able to provide the help we would like to receive. This is what makes friendship possible, that human side that helps us understand emotions and the way they feel.
Whether we choose to show them or not, we all have emotions and this fact shows us that we are not alone, that anybody else is able to feel like we do at some point and that real friends are the ones that choose to stick around to share our sadness and sorrow...
So, THANK YOU for being there, for trying to understand what I was going through and for providing the help that you would've liked to get if you were me. Thank you for being that sparkle in the dark and for sharing your light.
¡¡¡los quiero mucho!!!

I'd like to share a little piece of wisdom sent to me today (yeah, I know, what a coincidence), from a special -though unexpected- person. She says: "...true friends are forever, no matter the distance nor the bad times..." Couldn't agree more with that. I've always thought that no matter how rich, successful or famous you are: if there's no one you could share all of your life's blessings with, that is, if you don't have any friends, in the end, you've got nothing.
speaking of having nothing if you have no friends, I'd like to share this spanish proverb with you ;)
"Life without a friend is death without a witness"
and I definitely agree with you; if there is no one around that we can share life with, then we have nothing. thanks for reading my friend ;)
you should really keep writing
