Friends

For everyone, there is a moment in time where they feel as if time was moving in slow motion.  Where they feel as if the people they built their life upon had left them high and dry.  That's where they say your family comes in, but letting in your family can be just as much of a challenge. 

Friends are simple.  They are the family that you connect with without any hassle or strings attached.  The way you connect and share with friends is different than your family.  The family expects a certain level of achievement, while your friends are happy with the present time.  I love my family.  I love my friends.  I consider my friends as part of my family, without any feeling of incompetance or unworthiness.  I love knowing that no matter what I feel, or what I say or do, that my friends and family will always be there for me.. because thats their job.
