Sometimes best friends seem to know exactly when you need them.

I miss my friends who went home for the summer or who live in different towns from me.  

Sometimes I just need them.

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes I think my friends are pretty cool. Especially when they visit me from out of town. They’re pretty much the best ever.

"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others." — William Phelps

Warning: this is a bit graphic.

"But there are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely — or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands." — Oscar Wilde

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." — Elizabeth Kubler Ross

So I’ve been feeling a lot anxiety the past couple of days. It’s not a fun feeling, but it comes up every once in a while, and I can deal with it. Anyway, I really like this lyric from “Skinny Love,” by Bon Iver. I have a friend who wants to take the last word from each line of this and make it a tattoo, and I think it’s a really cool idea. And that has kind of given me the idea to make it a personal mantra. When I start feeling particularly anxious, I can listen to this song, and think: I can be patient. fine. balanced. kind. And when I listen to this song or look at this line or repeat it in my head, it makes me feel better. I just really love Bon Iver. And I really love this song. So I’m going to go lie in bed and listen to Bon Iver until I fall asleep. I should have done it ages ago, but I was busy stressing about unimportant things. So, for now, g’night, my friends. :) Sleep well. Thanks for reading, as always. :)

Love Always. -Jefferson
