To Isabella

Post by Amelia--

So, my alarm went off at 7 this morning. I got up, walked to my dresser, turned it off, then walked back to bed and snuggled under the covers. After a few minutes, I decided to actually get up. I went to see if anyone else was awake. Heather was gone, and the other 2 were still sleeping. I noticed that there were notes on Kaitlan and Lucy's door, and then I noticed that I had one too. It was from Heather, and it said "Have a great day!" or something to that effect. I thought that was so sweet of her. And it's not the first time she has done something sweet for us. Every once in awhile she buys all of us some chocolate, or does the dishes for us or does laundry for me when I'm not expecting it (I have only asked her to do laundry for me once). Last night she also made a get well card for someone she works with, and gave her some candy along with it. I just think that is awesome. She seems to always be positive even when she is having problems. The note this morning made me happy. It gave me a little encouragement.

It always makes me feel good when someone does something nice for me like that just out of the blue. I like it when I'm upset about something too, but random notes like that really make my day better. I try to make other people feel better, but there are times when I'm distracted enough not to really care about it. Or just don't think about it. This is a bad trait to have.

I keep thinking about to when we did the book study over the 5 love languages. And then I think about the class I'm taking this summer, positive pyschology. I think that it is hard to always be positive, especially towards other people when we are going through our own problems. But, I also think that if we practiced it enough, it would be easier.

On that note, I have said it before and I will say it again, I'm glad that we are best friends. You are an awesome person to be around. I enjoy our silly conversations, our serious conversations, and our silly serious conversations. I know that we have had our disagreements and bad fights. But you have helped to make me who I am. You work hard and study hard and care about others.

You have gone through a lot since I've known you. I know that some things scare you now because of it. But you always come out strong. You might still be struggling stuff, but you have overcome many obstacles. I know you will get through the problems you are dealing with now. You are still able to laugh in spite of it.

You were always there for me through my biggest issues. I want you to know that I am here for you. I love you, and don't know where I would be without you. Thank you so much for all of the encouragement and support you have given me. I hope that, if we ever go our separate ways, that we will still remain as close as we are now. Not many friendships will last a lifetime. I hope that ours will.
