Beautiful day, Beautiful people, Beautiful life

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Today is a good day. Just a simple, wonderful, nice day (:
And I will write about my wonderful friend name Sandra. Sandra Luo.

I think there's many times when we just need someone. Someone to talk to. Someone to laugh with. Someone to share good news, bad news, all news. And I think it's hard and extremely rare to find someone that you can continue to rely on and go to.

People- There are a million of them out there. But isn't it funny how we choose to stay with a few certain ones? I know that one of my greatest fears in life is creating attatchments. Emotional connections. Relationships. Whatever you want to call them. Because it's so difficult when there's a sense of liability for another's feeling. Responsibility for someone other than yourself. And it's more than just you, it's an act of vulnerability and trust you have to explore. It's real. It's deep. And it's something that can so totally affect your world.

I trust Sandra. And trust is an issue I can't stress hardly enough. Sometimes our trouble with trusting others come from our own insecurities, and it's those people who embrace our flaws and allow us to open up that become our best friends. Because as much as I'd like to say I feel comfortable around all my friends... I don't. I fear their judgment, their standards, their high expectations I can't always meet. And when I'm with friends like Sandra I don't feel the need to be anyone but myself. Imperfect Christina. Imperfect but no-strings-attatched-Christina.

See, no one can be perfect. And no two people can always agree- But friendship has a way of compensating for those mistakes and showing us what the true meaning of caring actually means. As different as we are, Sandra and me, I know that it's the differences that keep us together not apart. And I tell you. Staying around to go through the bumps, the lumps, the yucky-mud-puddles of life, that's what tells you, Hey, not all people are the same. Hey, maybe genuine kind people exist. I don't expect everyone to really understand. In fact, I don't think any two friendships can be similar enough to fully understand. But sometimes, it's nice having someone around. Someone who's really fun. Someone who's really not you. Someone who's looking out for the best of you. Someone, you know you can care about, just as much as they care about you.

And if best friends aren't one of the best gifts in life, I don't have a clue what is. Because honestly, somedays aren't worth getting by withour your best friends by your side.
