#80: Have a real heart-to-heart with someone.

God, this world is cruel.

#80: Have a real heart-to-heart with someone.

One of my closest friends in the world, and my self-proclaimed (by self, I mean me) most loyal friend, and I just had a real heart-to-heart.

As a friend, I can't say what it was about, but I can say a few things.

This guy has been the ears for me since 6th grade; anytime I had ANY problem, I could go to him and he would listen and not say a word.

He, on the other hand, was incredibly reserved in terms of feelings and personal things.

This was the first time I have EVER seen him just let go of his hesitation and just let me listen and do for him what he had done for me for so long.

I'm not gonna write much more, but I just want to say this; if anyone, especially him, ever needs advice, a shoulder to cry on, or even ears, not just to hear, but to listen, I am ALWAYS here. I am probably the best person for it too since I have so much of my own stuff going on that it won't bother me at all.

And to this guy: you're my bro, you have been for 5 years, and you will be for life. And, while I know you like to stay introverted, my ears, mind, and heart are always open if you feel like you can't take it anymore. Everyone has a breaking point, and no matter how strong you think you are, some times it is better to talk it out.

And when that happens, I'm here.

In the words of Father Rich (Ph.D. =P), "Sometimes you just need to slow down and let life catch up to you."

Keep it real.
