Sweetest Perfection.

virally-yours:

So I’ve already mentioned her in 3875653 posts, but here’s another one.

Lisa is, without a doubt, the best person I’ve come across in high school. I met her in August 2010, just before the start of sophomore year. When we met, I was at pretty much the lowest point I have ever been in life. I was so bitter and full of hatred. I hated myself. I hated my family. I hated everyone around me. I hated when other people were happy. I felt that if I couldn’t be happy, no one else could be either. I hated the world. Everything around me evoked hatred. I remember being so angry at God, as if He chose to make my life difficult. I had this mindset of “why are you doing this to me? What could I have done to deserve all this?” Really, there wasn’t much I didn’t hate at that point. I was just so vulnerable and angry and alone and (seemingly) ruined beyond repair because of everything that happened over the previous few months. I didn’t know what to do with myself, and I wanted to be dead more than anything. I had also become…well, morbidly awkward. I don’t like that word and I wish I had a better word to describe how I was, but I feel like that pretty much sums up everything I had become. Awkward.

…And then this girl comes along, and she changes everything for me. Mind you, I had lost all faith in girls by this point. I’m not speaking from a romantic aspect. I had lost faith in them in pretty much every way possible. I don’t know how to explain it. But Lisa reached me at a level no one else had. She would listen to me go on for hours about how horrible my life was, even though it really wasn’t all that bad. She didn’t mind my constant ranting about it, though. She was all ears. She always supported me and asked for nothing in return. She let me be a selfish little parasite and never complained about it. Not once. She crossed fine lines and said words with meaning. She helped me grow, she helped me rediscover my moral values and my faith. Slowly, over time, she helped me outgrow that ugly, empty, hateful excuse for a person I had become. I still have crappy days now and then, and she is always there to give me a little push in the right direction. I’ll never understand why she has been and still is so good to me, but I thank God for her everyday. Really, truly, the best friend I’ve ever had.

Touches my heart♥
