You know what's really great: When you know a friendship really will last forever. I don't think people understand how great it really is to have a forever friend. Knowing a friendship just isn't based off liking ones company, it's much more than just liking someone. Andy and I have known each other for many years, we have done a lot of growing up together as friends. When I am weak he is the strong one, when he is weak I somehow end up being the strong one for both us of. You know a friendship will last forever when you can just sit in a quiet house, nobody around and just be content. I know that this will last forever because we sit in silence reading and sometimes I make him read the same book as me. Currently we are reading the Mortal Instrument series and I have read a little more than him. I like reading and looking over and seeing his reaction because that was my exact reaction two minutes ago. What I love about the friendship is how happy we both are just being in ones company. We can sit in my house just doing nothing and be totally okay with it, we don't need noise to make the friendship work. Sometimes we don't even communicate with word, we communicate with looks. I guess you could say that we know that our friendship isn't based off likes and dislikes, it's based off how we are as a person. Andy and I are similar in so many ways, but we are also very different. We complement each other and pull out the best and worst of the other. I can strongly say that I am happy having someone willing to just sit in silence soaking it up with me. I love having someone willing to go do anything even if it's the stupidest thing he has heard. Andy and I have been like this since the day we met. Today I remembered how good it feels to have him back with me, it's nice to look up and see him there with this astonished looked plastered on his face. I love looking up from my book to see him staring at me waiting to see if I will say something that will for some reason blow his mind. I love hearing my phone buzz and seeing his name pop up on my screen, I like reading his texts when he is right beside me. We are those people, the ones who will sit in silence and text each other even though we are two feet away from each other. I also found myself loving driving to unknown destinations and rocking out in the car to the weirdest music ever. I can bet nobody will know any of the artist we listen to. I like how firmiliar it is to be around in. I like seeing him talk to my mom and his face light up when he talks about his passion. I like bumping into him at our favourite coffee shop and then spending the rest of the day with him and it wasn't even planned. I enjoyed today, we grabbed coffee went shopping and am now reading a new book. I like looking over and seeing him just there. I like knowing he hasn't changed, I liked today. What I learned is that Andy and I are two completely different people, but we end up being more similar than people really see us. We get each other and for some odd reason we are the only ones who really understand what the other is trying to say. I like debating with him and making him explain all his hopes and dreams. I like how he listens and I love how we complement each other as a whole. Something that I hope will never change, is how he never questions my motives. I hope he will stay the same Andy forever and I pray that he doesn't let the outside world change him and he doesn't let Kyle or anyone one else tell him what he should be. I hope that I will always be someone who is good to him, I don't know. I don't think anyone can really understand what this kind of friend ship really is about. I guess that was a little long but all of its true and what's really honest is that I am with him now and I wouldn't want anyone else to be here with me. I guess that was a little rant hoping everyone can have what friendship I have with him.

School

I am stressed, I am tired and I am just so done with everything. School has me staying up later than I should while studying something I never want to major in. School has me stressed because my teacher could at any second of the class call for pencils down and a pop quiz to occur. School has me pushing past my breaking point and school exams have left me worrying for days on end. I am tried and I am just ready to be done, but even when I am out of school... I will still be learning new things
