Two Friends

I just wanna take this moment to thank two friends out there who I really appreciate this weekend for specific reasons.

Friend number one, on Friday, invited me out to a bar with some people that I never really considered close friends or even people with a positive outlook on me. She pushed me, and made me feel so uncomfortable about coming that I couldn't say no. I fought her passive aggressively about it the whole time and was no happy camper, but I realized looking back on it, that she was doing it for one person: me.

She was being an excellent friend and I really appreciate that moment, but more so her part in my life. This friend is not only someone who pushes me (which I value so much in friendship, no matter how much I fight it), but she also is an excellent role model in faith, she is a woman of love through action, and she is one of the most comfortable people in her own skin. I truly love her and love her friendship and its moments like these that make me positive she will be my friend when we are both fat and old and have kids that go to school together.

Friend number two. I hung out with her Saturday and something she usually says came up. She always tells me "Nikko, have faith in God." When she said that, I wasn't frustrated, but I had to tell her that I do! I do believe and have faith in Him. I really do. But that is not my point in bringing it up. My point is, friend number two is always there to keep my spiritually responsible. She doesn't let me slack in my faith ever. I love it. Not that I always need it, but I do sometimes need the reminder that she brings me. I feel like I am a man of strong faith, but she blows me away with her faith. She is a true role model to live a Catholic and Christian life. I hope by the end of my life I can have the faith she has right now at 19. Don't you ever give up on me!

These two friends are just two of many of the people that are vital to my life, and I hadn't seen much of either of them lately and wanted to shout out for them. I love them both. God Bless.
