Dear Friendship
How crazy of you to love me. How crazy for you to provide a
home for me. You give me so much encouragement and motivate me to never give up
on myself. You support my dreams without hesitation and wish me well on my
journey. Thank you for allowing me to explore the parts of me I haven’t shared
with the world yet. Thank you for loving my loud laugh, dirty jokes, smart mouth
and what you call personality. Thank you for the lessons and good times. Thank you for the nights I cants remember and
to our future together. Thank you for allowing me to be…
Dear friends, my dudes
I have witnessed your hunger. You strive so hard to become impeccable
young men. Men that protect, men that work hard, men that provide all while
finding your identity. The contrast between the expectations of you being the
male child to that of a man being represented in each of you has granted me the
opportunity to see reason behind how hard you grind and work. The reason behind
your hunger for greatness and the sense of being a man. Without you, I wouldn’t
hve the drive I have. The courage to start typing and releasing my diary for
many to read. As men, you taught me how to face the worldly battles with my
head held high and guard even higher. As men, you taught me to put my pride
aside. As men, you have taught me that
my emotions truly are great servants and not masters because the challenges you
face on a daily take strength to not be reacted emotionally towards. Dear men
in my life, thank you for the friendship and security. Thank you for my game
and thank you for always inspiring me to do better than I did yesterday.
Dear friends, my ladies
It takes a lot for me to have endless bonds with women, but
with what the gents have taught me, loyalty is the best way to have a
relationship. After growing up as a tomboy, you helped me find my feminine side.
Your world has allowed to explore myself in ways I dreamt someone else would.
You softened me up and taught me how to feel. Slowly as I grew into womanhood,
you grew with me. When my adolescence hit and the boys didn’t get me, you came
running in to save the day and you continue to do so. With friends in motherhood, relationships and
life of a woman, I am blessed to have a group of female friends so versatile
that I explore every element of womanhood through you. Thank you for creating a
sisterhood like no other. Already having a sister, you are the closest thing to
that I can describe. Thank you for the love, thank you nurturing me and thank
you for making me want more.
Love,
Rethabile, The friend
