I have people in my life who somehow come to play certain roles in my life. There are my parents and they are well my parents. I love my parents for that. Certain parents are there for me all the time and other come and go, but no matter what I love them all the same.
I have friends in my life that seem to play roles also. There are two in particular who seem to play the role of the older brother and the mother figure while my mother is "absent" and doing her bidding in other places.
This friend that I have seems to play the role more and more of my older brother that I have never had. He takes the role off and on in some areas, he plays a game without realizing it where he likes to give advice and when he does sometimes it is harsh and makes me not want to talk to him, but all the while I know it is because he wants me to keep my head on straight and keep going and doing all the correct things. So even if it may seem harsh it is just who and how he deals with things that makes it worth the wile of staying with the friendship.
His mother has taken on the role of being my adopted mother. She has told me that she thinks of me as the daughter that she never had and we talk on a consistent basis. She has said to me more times than I can count that she is proud of me. And during this particular point in my life that has been very helpful and it means a very great deal to me.
Everything that I am working towards at this point in time can either be easy or stressful. It can take two courses it really depends on who I decide to surround myself around during this time that will make it all worthwhile. I have chosen to take a path that many do not take and would not dream of. But I am willing to do it and I know that I have the brain power and the correct energy for it.
I have decided to surround myself with people who care and love me for who I am and are willing to surround me with love while I chose to embrace it. I have a lot that I have to work towards and it is going to be a long process of getting through school. As long as I have all of these people in my life along with others that will come in and we all support each other in the ways that we need it, things will work out.
