read something pretty piercing today.
dont know why but this short paragraph just resonated with me so much.One day during summer break, my grandmother came for a visit. Immediately, she saw me for what I was: a full-blown addict, likely eating himself to death.But what she did took me by surprise. She scolded me. She spent that entire visit setting me straight. In my whole life, she had never acted like that toward me before and it shocked me.I could hear in her voice the frustration, the anger and the love. It was very hard for me. If there were one person in the world that I was afraid to disappoint, it would be my grandmother.
here's to the friends who arnt afraid to tell you the truth,even when it hurts
the friends who hold you to your words,
the friends who tell you to stick to doing whats right no matter how tempting the alternative it is
here's to the friends who tell you to suck it up, to man up, and walk right through the storm,
to walk towards the rainbow that you're too blinded to see in that moment.
family, friends, and loved ones alike, who see you for who you are, with your flaws, blemishes and all, but yet choose to stick by your side and to push you to work through them.
