Inspiration

I feel enormously privileged to have the friends that I do. They are such an inspiration, in that everything they have gone through has helped to shape them into the most amazing people. I know that if I had gone through at least half as much as some of my friends, I would not even be half the person they are today.

I'm not just talking about one friend, but about many. The thing that I have noticed about all of them is that their struggles have not harboured bitterness and resentment, but have brought them closer to God, who has made them peaceful and gentle people.

These people are such an inspiration, and I know I would love to be like that. To be so open to what life has thrown at them, but remain selfless, not wrapped up in their own struggles. Each of these people has taught me so much.
