for my [not] best friend

Just,
You wanted me to tell you everything is going to fine...and it will be. You're not alone because I will walk with you.
Love,
Me

The Thousandth Man

One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin you.

'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for 'ee.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go
By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him.
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.

You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
And laugh and meet in your daily walk
As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em all,
Because you can show him your feelings.

His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all men's sight-
With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot --and after!

~Rudyard Kipling

For the WOD, the left arm push presses were definitely the hardest for me. Even though I hated the 20# I was thankful that I was able to push myself and get through it. Sheens was an animal with the 25#! "Uhh...we should do the 15s..yeah yeah....it'll be better....uhh or the 25 is good too..." haha. Great work out today everybody!

365 days later and its still the same story

"...appreciate the friends and loved ones who are really there for you. Be there for them. Believe in the best of people and understand everyone slips. That's what second chances are for. Forgive, but don't let anyone walk all over you. Don't get in the way of yourself. Too many times you've psyched yourself out and felt you couldn't do it anymore. Give all you got and don't expect the same in return. In the end you'll be able to look back and say you tried, you gave everything and that's all that really matters."

"The greatest irony of love: Loving the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right, and finding out you love someone right after that person walks out of your life. And sometimes, you think you're already over a person, but when you see them smile at you, you'll suddenly realize that you're just pretending to be over them just to ease the pain of knowing that they will never be yours again.

For some, they think that letting go is one way of expressing how much you love the person... In my opinion, some are afraid to see the one they love being held by someone else. Most relationships tend to fail not because of the absence of love. Love is always present. It's just that one was being loved too much and the other was being loved too little. As we all know that the heart is the center of the body but it beats on the left. Maybe that's the reason why the heart is not always right. Most often, we fall in love with the person we think we love but to only discover that for them, we are just for past times, while the one who truly loves us remains either a friend or a stranger...

So here's a piece of advice: Let go when you're hurting too much. Give up when love isn't enough, and move on when things are not like before...For sure, there is someone out there who will love you even more."
