Sol

It means 'sun' in Spanish. It's also my friend's name. She's been having a hard time lately and I just want to take the time to cheer her up - to let her know that 'if it's not PMS, then there's something wrong'... Just kidding.

For real though, there are times when I get this feeling that no one understands me. I was just in that funk a couple of weeks back. I think we all go through it atleast once in our lives (otherwise, have your doctor check you, coz if you've never felt it honey, that means you're not normal). But then someone would come along and help you out of the gutter. In my case, my dog, my friends, my family - they've all come through for me and made me feel that there may be times that they don't understand me but that doesn't mean they stop loving me. A wise woman (yes, the same WISE ASS WOMAN) told me just yesterday that if everyone gets who you are, then you become this one boring person and you lose your individuality (or something to that effect - i'm REALLY bad in quoting people unless its something *coughgossipcough* important). Who else would want to know you - be with you - if you're so easy to figure out?

Anyway, in the end you'll find out who your real friends are. They are the ones that stick it out with you in good times and bad. They are the ones who probably made you mad once in awhile but in the end you just can't stand not having them around. They are the ones that put the smile on your face when you think that the sun - el sol - will never shine again for you. They are the ones who will tell you honestly of what they think of you, how your act, what you say, etc... They are willing to risk getting you upset so that you will know how you are viewed in other people's eyes. Finally, your friends are those who accept you for who you are and who you want to be. They are the ones who are willing to give you millions of second chances everytime you do something wrong... In the end, they will be there and you'll realize, even though they've moved far far away, that they never left your side.

Hope you get to feeling better, Sol!
