Different strokes for different friends?

"Each friendship offers something totally unique — and irreplaceable. Each friendship ultimately makes us who we are." - unknown

Irreplaceable -
"adjective

incapable of being replaced; unique:
an irreplaceable vase."

I have few things in life that I'd consider friends, music... okay maybe just music. Why just music, well I don't have a doggy companion to love on. Music is the number one tangible thug that never let's me down. When I'm angry or sad it can lift my to the heavens or bring me all this emotional energy that I need to survive.

Now on to people, my unique friendships, some have been with some amazing people. My childhood neighborhood friends well those that have lasted the test of ptsd and forgetting some of you.

My roommate and I have been friends for 13 years, he's irreplaceable in that he is what I've come to need in life a strong, level headed and extremely compassionate friend. How he teaches me to be appreciative of what we are all capable and capable of overcoming.

I've had friends that walk similar paths in life of destruction and love. One of my closest friends uses me for monetary gain even if he pays me back but this one I know loves me because he will talk me out of anxiety like I was a cat stuck in a tree that needed rescuing. I'm the type that can't let friends fall on their face. If you need a hand, I am more than willing to lend a hand up.

Friends that won't sugar coat things are friends we need even when the bottom falls out on life. She makes me have thicker skin... which we all need.

Those I have been lovers to in love with. Don't get so jealous that you don't see her true beauty and the fact she only has eyes for you. One of my girl friends was so completely jealous of my exes because they had me first. I was hardly jealous of her past because I wanted to be her future. I learned how to be mushy from a cheater... and it made me vindictive, downside... from being used to being truly loved is amazing and it helps lift burdens and gives us an amazing heart song.

So who I ultimately am... I'm a friend that would give my shirt for a friend and go without at many times. I'm a student of how to own my emotions and become more level headed and not think so much with my heart. I am a lover and a fighter even when chips are down and I'm almost out, I remember that I'm being loved and have been loved by many people I've touched over my lifetime. I am a rock and a shining knight ready for battle for his friends and lover.

Advice to a Dear Friend

Joshua: "How's work?" Erin: "Can't complain. Running my team today. I get nervous. Learning curve" Joshua: "Oh... Hun, you got this!" “Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.” ― Ryder Carroll, The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future   Joshua: "I'm looking up quotes about multitasking but everyone seems to have issues with it. So my advice is to just focus on the task at hand and move on to the next." "If they need something and you need something as far as learning, just ask questions." Erin: On her iPhone, loves the quote. In my head slacker... hahaha! Just kidding. Erin: "I love your advice. Now that's legit boss guidance, thanks."

A Heart Bright Like the Sun

When I came to this crossroad, I met this lovely young lady. She had no face and I could only see her soul. I knelt down beside her and said how is your soul is so radiant? She said when you center yourself, you enter the state of allowing yourself to see all that is good and evil. She was the one meant for me and her soul was as bright as the sun. I took the road to the left and never saw her again. The next day I came back and there was no light at the crossroad but a black heart. What is the moral of the story? This is how I feel. No one is for certain who you will meet at each crossroad of our lives. Don't lose a chance to make something out of each crossroad. Then I picked up that heart put it in the pocket on my sleeve and wore it there for all the world to see. I walked across a tiny wooden bridge where I met a man with no soul just a mangled face. We spoke about the people on this road. We talked till sunset. He said I can give you what you nee

She Said

 I would like to think that I'm Spiritual, not religious but I read the religious text called the Bible. I also believe in love and I know that there are definitions of what love is versus what I've been showing to my last girlfriend.  1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; She read the greatest love and understood it to be about my love of first sight relationship or in retrospect the girlfriend it's about. The greatest love isn't about said girl but about the feelings around it and they can't be recreated because we are all different people. I understand that that relationship has ended, I hold on to the hope that there can be a love-at-first-sight relationship again. It doesn't have to actually happen but I want to look at the woman I love every day with that feeling. Because in that relationship the feeling went away, and I
