Lately, I've been feeling something I never felt.

Enjoyment when it comes being around my friends. It's to the point I like planning trips with them and hanging out with them for hours.

These friends of mine are always there for people, and I can count on them when it comes to it. People that I never thought that one day I could see as brothers.

As time pasts, our bond grows, and I say that we, enjoy being around each other more.

We all have our flaws, just like any human being would.

Different perspectives.

Beliefs.

Opinions.

All those are what make people who they are, and nobody should be allowed to stomp on those no matter who you are.

Being around these guys gives me the energy I didn't know I could manifest. I'm always going to be their biggest supporter.

I love to listen and especially when it comes to their ideas. Hearing them talk about what their passionate about is the best feeling.

It would be an understatement to say I'm not the "leader" of the group. I dislike thinking of myself like that, but that's what it feels like sometimes.

My desire and what I'll always push out to them is that they have the freedom to do what they want and tell them they decide how to write their story.

We as individuals cannot allow ourselves to be held from making progress.

Whether it's our parents, friends, or those you're close to. Be selfish and think of your benefit for once.

It might be the best advice I can give anybody.

Because sometimes you have to be selfish.

A friend of mine, will always find emotional support and have somebody to talk to. No matter what I'm doing, where I find myself, or my state of mind.

Everybody should value what they have because it won't be there forever.

I'm proud of their growth.

It's been six years since I've struggled with depression and the loss of my grandmother. Now I appreciate my friends, and they always keep me in a positive mindset.

Reminds me of one point when we wasted our teenage years doing nothing. Now they've built a foundation that has brought them the success of doing what they love.

How the times, have changed.

If you're young and in your teenage years, I beg of you, to enjoy them and vent your emotions. Find somebody, something, or an art. Do not bury what you're feeling.

Wealth shouldn't come across your mind without solving your issues.

I'm committed to my friends, and I'm feeling happy now. I can be myself and feel like an actual person.

It took me this long to get here, and it came with a price.
