my dearest meganbug

I haven’t written anything for a while; I haven’t felt my normal passion for a while. No passion, no post. But I need to look for the passion, search it out, and build it up. Recently I went on a three week trip across the country, on a bus, with a bunch of high school graduates, sound exciting? Yes. It changed my life, and I am sure I will be writing a lot about it for a few more posts and I share what I have learned and felt. Because that, that has been my passion. After two weeks on this trip I was about ready to come home, I had many great experiences, and I was ready to share them. I had made so many new friends which seemed built on the most pure and deep connections there are. And yet, if that trip had ended in that first moment of homesickness, I would not have met my best friend. Megan. What a blessing she truly has been in my life.

All throughout high school I struggled to find those friends who truly cared, and even when I found them, I often was let down. I looked for deep connections that I could open up with and share anything, and laugh about anything else. Even though it was a bit late, I got the best friend I could have ever asked for. She lives in California, so not ideal distance, but with the help of Skype and my cellular device, and Facebook, I think it work out quite well. We stalk each other on the daily.

Let me tell you a little more about Megan.  She has long brown hair with the most piercing blue eyes I have ever seen. When I first met her, I labeled her as a brat, but it turns out she is just as self-conscious and rough around the edges as I am. Her distant stares come across as deathly glares, and her secret vulnerability written in her angry defenses. She says it’s hard for her to open up her heart to a lot of people, but I don’t think that is her problem, I think she loved everyone initially, and was taught to not trust anyone when they hurt her. I only say this from what I know, and what I know to be true about myself. She is so capable of so many things. Smart, beautiful, classy, sarcastic, fun, hilarious, and loving, is what makes Megan truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and been blessed with their true friendship.

Now to Megan, I love you so much. You have no idea the role you have played in helping me, by listening to me, caring about me, and sharing with me. My testimony has been strengthened just by watching you grow throw the past month or so. I don’t ever want you to forget about how important you are to me, and to our heavenly father. You deserve everything good that this earth has to offer, and more. The adversary sees your potential and he is trying with all he has to pull you down, because you can bring so many to this gospel just by your example and love. I could go on about you for years, maybe I will write another post. But I just wanted this out in the open. I love you Megan, you’re truly my best friend.
