i wish heartfelt didn't always equal hooky

{i am so very lucky to have the friends that i do. 

i wish there was a more powerful way to convey that. 

but they are each so funny & so smart,

so clever & cultured,

so selfless & passionate, 

so gracious & kind. 

i have known many amazing individuals, and i don’t think i ever really appreciated the diversity of friendships i had until today. 

i love them all.}

i posted this to tumblr earlier, but i wanted to elaborate. 

this week, i've been constantly struck with how much i love my life. 

or rather, the strange and beautiful people that populate it. 

maybe it has something to do with deactivating my facebook, 
but i've been able to appreciate my friendships even more this week. 

i have friends that are always hooking me up with the latest & greatest music

via mixtapes & awesome websites {daytrotter, 8tracks} 

i have friends that listen to my spirited rants & 

friends that know just how to handle my opinionated, persnickety nature.

i have friends that love how animated i get when i tell a story & 

friends that can enjoy the absolute peace of saying nothing at all. 

but by far 

my favorite friends are the ones who want to teach me things 

or show me things that are unique & special to them. 

either because they care enough to educate & enhance me as a person, 

or because they genuinely know what i will find inspiring. 

what else can i say?

everything's copacetic. 

 I worry, I weigh three times my body 

I worry, I throw my fear around

But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain 

The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain
