Going into this retreat i told Jason that i'd get to know my grade better.
Well, i got closer to a few girls and a guy.
I never expected my relationship with this one girl to grow so strong after a 3 hour talk.
We all go through struggles and it seemed like she understood what i was going through the most. Her style is nothing like mine. We were talking about how it's hard to make friends with girls and i think that it was a slap in the face when i realized that someone else was going through the same struggles as me. I couldn't believe it. Hopefully, i'll get to know her a lot better and soon develop a closer relationship with her.
Onto the next girl. She is a weird one. Every time i added a caption with a picture of us it would say, "We share our awks moments together" but after these 3 days, she was the one that would come looking for me. I've only known her for a year and throughout this year these past 3 days were the most important. I told her everything and felt that she has my trust. I didn't know what to expect when i went to talk to her for the first time. To be honest i thought that she would be one of those bratty girls that always get their way and tend to judge others by what they look like. But i was completely wrong. yes we do have many awkward moments but that's what makes our relationship. She's just amazing and she understands what im going through.
Lastly, this guy. I've known him for 3 years, got baptized with him and shared many awkward yet lasting moments. At first all i thought of him was that he's good looking. I didn't see past that until we had our first h2h. It opened my eyes and i realized that we shouldn't judge others because of what they look like because a smile can be covering a lot of pain. Last night i talked to him until 2am and by far it was the best talk that i've ever had with him. We usually talk on the phone or skype about random stuff but, this time it was different. I felt that i was hiding something from him and i thought that his reaction would be, "Kay so what do you want me to do about it. I care but, there's nothing i can do" but i was completely wrong. I wasn't going to cry but once i told him i bursted out in tears for a good 15 min. From this adventure with him i learned to not hide things from friends because you never know the outcome. He told me that he was glad that im still his friend and i've stuck by him through the many things he's done to me. This brightened my day. I never expected those words to come out of his mouth since, he's not a very 'talk about my feelings' person. I felt that he's shown me accountability and he doesn't judge because he says it doesn't benefit anything, which is very true.
After these 3 days past i got closer to these 3 people. I honestly don't know what i would do without them. I learned that we shouldn't take friends for granted. We should learn to thank God for all our friends, old and new because we never know what's going to happen next.
