Even the best fall down sometimes

I would like to introduce a friend. Her name is Priscilla and I met her on the NYC Trip. We ended up on the same team together, and then when our team leaders decided to use the buddy system, we became buddies for the rest of the trip. This girl is amazing and surprises me all the time. I had no idea she could beat box until our last night there. I had no idea how great she could sing and rap until that same night. I had no idea how similar her testimony is to mine until tonight.

I've never met someone who really and truly understood what I've struggled with. Until I randomly decided to tell Priscilla. I sent her a Facebook message and then she called me. We had a 20 minute heart to heart and she forced me to reveal things I've never told anyone, things that most people would not want to know. We are going to trust each other to hold the other accountable. I just felt so relieved knowing there is someone who knows exactly what I feel and understands more than anyone I've met and told my testimony to. It gives me hope and strength to finally confront my struggles and not just hide them away and hope they magically disappear. It's going to be hard, but it'll be worth it. It will!

As of late, I've had to re-evaluate a friendship. One thing I've learned from this whole thing is that honesty and time spent together are two of the most important aspects of any friendship/relationship. And, I've learned to never assume someone feels the same way about what stage of friendship you think you are in. I am so sorry things turned out the way they did, and that it caused so much hurt.

One of my biggest pet peeves is ignored texts. I absolutely hate it when I ask someone a question, and they completely ignore me. If you don't want to answer or talk, just say so. But don't leave me high and dry, confused, wondering if I did something wrong.

I lost my keys. Well, it was really only one key and then some rewards things and a few decorative keychains. I've looked in the places I would have lost them, but I can't find them. The one key is my housekey too. I'm hoping my landlord has a spare or something.
