So, yeah, I basically passed the worst two days of my life, ironically so because yesterday morning I woke up in a stellar mood. But then I failed a chemistry test. Then my best friend randomly got mad at me (again) and gave me the silent treatment. Then I find out my crush got a new girlfriend after JUST breaking up with his old one. Then, next day (today), my brother gets in a screaming match with my mother. Then, I go to work, the cook and my boss get in a screaming match (in Chinese, which is even scarier). Then, me and my dad get in a screaming match. Then, I forget to do my math homework, so I was just doing it for two hours instead of hanging out with my friend like I'd planned to. Three of any of these things is enough to make me sufficiently upset, but one on top of the other made me want to tear my hair out. As it was, I basically called my best friend (the one that isn't pissed at me FOR SOME REASON I DON'T KNOW) and as soon as heard her say hello, I broke down and just started bawling. I cried like I hadn't cried in years. I hardly ever cry; I remember reading "A Little Princess" when I was eight and remember Sara saying that crying doesn't solve anything - I took that to heart. It takes a lot to make me really bawl like I did. I was coherant for about ten minutes, and as soon as I could I just spilled everything to her. It took me like fifteen minutes, as a few things have built up besides the shit in the past two days. (My parents constantly fighting and threatening to seperate; worrying about gas money and college money; wayyyy too much school- and home-work; working when I'd rather be sleeping in) And as soon as I thought I was done and she'd say something comforting, I'd just start bawling anew. It was quite disgusting, actually; I was outside and snot was dripping from my nose, and as I hadn't a tissue, I wiped it on my jeans. (In retrospect, rather humorous.) I eventually calmed down and she kept on reassuring me. Our conversation took a more philosophical turn; the value of a good friend. Because I've really just begun to realize how lucky I am, that when I was at my lowest, this comfort, this joy of my best friend was just a phone call away. I am so lucky to have her, and so greatful to have her. I hope I never take her for granted the way I sometimes feel taken for granted. I am blessed that I can call this person my best friend. End rant.
