There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship

"Why is it that we always fall for our best friend?
Is it because we know we can trust them?
Is it because we know them so well?
Is it because of the way they know exactly whats going on in our heads?
Or is it because they are there any day, anytime, anywhere, without the promise of kisses, intimate touches or whispered sentiments of love?
I think we love them because they are there when there is nothing in it for them except for that glimmer of hope that maybe someday there will be. "

maybe i can finally stop running from something and start running for something

so ytd my friend was talking about running a half-marathon, which got me thinking how nice it must be to have a goal to run towards. ever since i finished my last 2.4 last year i have stopped pushing myself during runs and it has been rlyrly nice to not have to race against the clock. but that also means everything has become rather stagnant: I run about the same distance at about the same speed.

ok guys i was gonna type a long post but i suddenly feel too lazy sooooo

BASICALLY i am inspired to start challenging myself again. like today after i finished one of my usual routes around the park i started on a second round (but about-turned after the first stretch of it HAHA) and maybe one day i can actually do 2 complete rounds?? that brings me one teeny step closer to a half-marathon bc that one will be like 4 rounds which is some intense shit hahahaha good luck man my friend if you are rly going for it (but if you do i will be no.1 supporter!)
