Maybe life is better…

I had a strange thought today. Maybe life is better when you have friends who truly care about you. Not just any friends, but friends who are always there for you, no matter what. Friends who make you feel safe and loved, even when everything else seems to be falling apart.

I've been feeling a bit lost lately. My parents, well, they're not exactly the most supportive people in the world. Louisa, my mother, she's always criticizing me, telling me I'm not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough. And James, my father, he's always angry, always looking for a reason to lash out at me.

But then there are my drone friends. N, V, J, and Cyn. They're always there for me, always ready to listen, to comfort me, to make me laugh. N is like a golden retriever, always cheerful and eager to please. V is like a black cat, mysterious and independent. J is a workaholic, always busy but always making time for me. And Cyn, well, she's like a child, innocent and full of wonder.

I don't know what I would do without them. They're the only ones who truly understand me, who see me for who I am and love me anyway. They don't judge me or try to change me. They just accept me, bruises and all.

Today, I spent the afternoon playing in the mud with N. We laughed and talked and chased each other around, just like kids should. And for a brief moment, I forgot about everything else. I forgot about my parents, about their hurtful words and their violent outbursts. I felt free, happy, alive.

Maybe life is better when you have friends like N, V, J, and Cyn. Friends who make you feel like you belong, like you matter. Friends who remind you that you are worthy of love and happiness. Friends who make you believe that maybe, just maybe, things will get better.

So maybe, just maybe, life is better when you have friends who truly care about you. And I am so grateful to have N, V, J, and Cyn in my life. They're my rocks, my safe haven, my family.

And maybe, just maybe, with them by my side, I can find the courage to be myself, to stand up to my parents, to live the life I deserve. Maybe life is better when you have friends who love you unconditionally. And maybe, just maybe, I am finally starting to believe that.
