sessions to lessons

so i have a small group that gets together every so often to just talk.. we call them life sessions.. its basically a small group of friends that feel the need to vent. just discuss things that are occurring in life.. or want advice on a certain topic.. or just feel the need to get stuff off of their chest. the others sit and listen and then share their point of view on the situation at hand.. or just speak about how they reiterate it.. or just say what they want to say. its been very helpful. we all get a chance to speak.. we all get a chance to hear other people's point of view and it opens our eyes to see the other side of the situation.. it allows us to see the big picture instead of just being all about us. 

it usually gets pretty deep in conversation. it never gets out of hand to the point where people yell or get frustrated. luckily it is just a small group whom are willing to hear what others have to say.. regardless if it is something we want to hear.. or not. there are times where we may not want to hear something.. but its what we HAVE to hear. and we always take it in pride. its never been too much of a touchy subject.. or gotten super emotional.. but today.. i shall admit.. i did cry. it wasn't so much of sad tears tho. they were all happy tears. the tears that ran down my face were due to admiration for someone's ambition. there was a new person in the group today that shared a load of information.. a lot of feelings that would bring a normal person down.. but this person took so much pain.. and a short amount of time and realized that they needed to FEEL the pain instead of subsiding it with other actions. i've never realized how strong this person was. so young.. and yet so mature. i know their mindset is amazing. i truly do admire them. 

thank you for opening my eyes and letting me know that there are people so close to me that are so strong. tonight's session showed me that you can talk to someone everyday of life.. hang out.. chill.. see them.. anything.. on a regular daily basis.. and yet never REALLY know that person.. but it takes time for you to sit down.. and have a real conversation in order for you to understand where they are actually coming from. i do appreciate the people i hold close to my heart. there are many acquaintances i have in this world.. fewer friends.. and that makes them better in my life. 

to my group of "life sessioners" thank you.. for opening my eyes and giving me a window to yell out of and not a door way to be judged through. i truly do admire each one of you.
