the friends i keep

if there is one thing i'm blessed with besides a loving family, it's the number of wonderful real friends i have managed to keep...the ones i grew up with...spent high school and college with...worked with...partied with...had fights with...went shopping with...travelled with....got totally drunk and crazy with...laughed and cried with...

bottomline, these people have kept me grounded when i needed to be.... when the rest of the world seem to turn it's back on me, i have them to back me up if i need a quick reality check, they're the ones that heed the call...

they love me for who and what i am and i love every one of them just as much....

and yes, break-ups and heartaches won't be half as bad when your ally is the same as mine
