Allow me to be a cornball for a moment

I have to say that for the first time in my life I have come to realize how important and beautiful friendships can be. I feel like I am at a point (newly single, moving into a transition period, going through difficult situations personally) where my friendships are what keep me going. So, this is a shout out to everyone who reads this: I love you so much. I appreciate the love you give me, the laughter you bring me, the comfort, the listening ear, everything. I have gotten a lot closer to some of you in a past few months, and some of you I have just met, but you have all touched me so deeply. I am who I am because of you, not that I am such a fabulous person, but I can see a difference in myself. That, in no small part, is because of the individual ways you all have touched me. I know this is super corny and silly, and I also appreciate your putting up with the corniness, but sometimes I just feel like I have to say these types of things. I want you all to know how I feel. I also want you all to feel comfortable coming to me, and I want you to know that if you ever need anything I will be there, day or night, no matter what. I know that some of you, many of you, are going through difficult phases right now with family, school, work, life transitions, whatever. I just hope I can be there for you the way you have been there for me.

Okay, I think I have said my piece. I love you guys and I hope you all have a fantastic week. :)
