Day 29: A Hidden Gem
As my first round comes to a close, I would like to acknowledge the fact that my journey has taken me right back to where I started. Home.
Not my physical home, but the spiritual home I have found in an old friendship, almost forgotten.
Lately, in combating with my depression, I have neglected some of my friendships unintentionally. I am glad to say that I have renewed a very dear one. Today I went out of my way to visit the home of my old best friend, since 4th grade. Usually when we hang out it's at my place, but I decided to venture out of the norm and go check out her's. Can't remember the last time I visited! It was grand. (: We had such a wonderful time and I am happy to share that I will regularly be visiting her place many times soon. Her room was such a magical place, all decorated and nested with her personality quite fabulously I must say. Her interior design even inspired me to make some changes to my own living space! My new arrangement works much better; and my confidence to have arranged it thus all came from her. (:
I am glad to have renewed this old friendship. I believe my growth as my own person began with the start of our friendship way back when, and it makes me smile to realize that they both have begun again.
And now, on to another round! ♥
