Lone Wolves

Well I've been randomly drawing wolves for a while now and this was vaguely rushed so kinda skimpy on the details and some of it's a bit meh... but I just wanna say something... (warning this may take a while to read...)

My best friend and I, well, I guess we haven't had the easiest teen life. For different reasons and I suppose it's not easy for everyone but for some it's harder than others; by situation or ability to cope, or both.

I've had a lot of support through dark times but I don't think anyone has supported me more than Sophie. Whether or not it was clinical I can't say but I was pretty close to depression at the start of high school, literally had no one there and back then I was rock bottom on self esteem and confidence, especially when the first group I joined threw me out over some ridiculous misunderstanding over nothing. I had one class in common with Sophie at first. And that first lesson she, out of nowhere, said hello to me. I was highly surprised but right off the bat I liked her. She invited me to sit next to her and it wasn't long before I came into her small circle of friends. I really believe I wouldn't have made it through high school without her.

And even though we ended up going to different colleges we met up often, still had a strong friendship and for me college was like a whole deja vu of high school at first and I ran into different problems. But still Sophie was always there to listen to me; and it's always been like that both ways 'cause everyone needs a rant every now and then.

Recently, I did something pretty damn stupid and despite all my precautions and I knew it would be a threat to our friendship, but I let it happen anyway. And yet she holds no grudge over me for it. And for that and everything above, I am very, very honoured and grateful that she has been and will continue to be a part of my life even though I'm about to move way up the country for university. We may change paths, and pretty drastically at that, but I'm pretty damn sure that we'll continue to support each other. I mean hell I'd do anything for my best friend, 'cause I wouldn't be here today. Count on that. And family is much more than blood.
