Friends come in all shapes and all sizes. Some of my best friends, and the friends whom I've had for several years, are my online friends. Of course, there's too many to mention, but I'm going to mention a few who have changed my life. These friends pulled me out of my depression, and tried to help me love myself. They encourage me to go on, they congratulate me when I go through with it. They lift me up, they make me smile, they make me feel loved. I don't think I'd be here, writing this, if it weren't for them. I owe them so much.

	Raphie... God, he means the world to me. He is my inspiration, he is best friend, he is my partner in crime, he is my everything. I love him to death, and can never let him go. He's kept me going through so much, and lifted me up when I'm down. He encourages me. He laughs with me. He role plays with me. He treats me like a goddess, and I treat him like a god. Above all, he is my absolute best friend.
Merrick.. My Merrick has been there for me through so much. She's advised me for over a year now, and she's just amazingly sweet. She's like my big sister, and I look up to her. She's become a sort of surrogate mother, more like big sister, to me when I can't turn to my own mom. When I need advice on something, she willingly gives me it. And it feels so good when she's proud of me. :)
	Jinxie.. My Jinxie is a great person. She's so much fun! If I need advice, I don't look to her (Sowwy!), but if I need a laugh she is definitely it. I've known her for something like 4 or 5 years (I know, I can't believe it either!), and we've shared so many memories- the good, the bad, and the ugly. We've stuck together even when nearly drawn apart by fighting. Sure, we're not close like Raphie and me, but we're still great friends. She's an amazing girl who is just hilarious!
