Friends Never Give Up

Something that I also experienced over the weekend was an interesting scenario when I visited my friend. Their friend was a little worse for wear and it was a testing set of circumstances for all, particularly for those who knew the individual concerned. I did what I could to reassure my friend and hopefully it helped him somewhat. Unfortunately I had to leave whilst he was at the hospital so I had to leave him a note. It was a note of where I had a rare moments of that was both eloquent and full of clarity. Below is the note.


 Never give up on your friends or yourself.
It isn't always easy and it will test you.
Sometimes people are open to the greatest change
when they are at their lowest point.
Believe in them. Believe in the person they can become again.
Personal belief can make things happen in conjunction with hard work.
Then you can overcome almost anything.
Even those things that terrify you to the point where you can't talk about them.
And that push you to a nomadic madness,
that can both captivate and infuriate yourself.
Never give up and never go back on your words.
Always moving forwards.

In short this was probably everything that I wish someone had said to me at some point or another over the last six months or so. Oh well, going through things always does make a person stronger. One other thing that this experienced served, was that it reminded me, that sometimes people do not have happy endings or experiences and that we have very little control over the things that happen to us. One thing that we do have absolute control over is our ability to respond to any situation that we find ourselves in.
