Peace of Mind

Do you know what it means to live without peace of mind? No, you don't.

Someone without peace of mind isn't living, is just existing. A person without peace of mind wakes up every morning and wants to run as far and as fast as possible to get away from the one person she can't stand but it doesn't matter how far or how fast she runs because she's always there.

Do you know what a real friend is? A real friend is someone who stands by your side when life knocks you so hard on your ass that you can't stand on your own two feet.

He wasn't a real friend or a best friend. He was a potential new friend.

He was my friend when I wasn't capable of being a friend. That gave me peace of mind at a time when I didn't think I would EVER have peace of mind again. I wanted to be a real friend. I wanted to be worthy of having a real friend. I never put effort into my friendships before but with this person I do.

Today, I have peace of mind, a real friend and a best friend.
