Appreciation and The Importance of Obvious Things. AKA Reminders and stuff (12/2/17)

I was just talking to my friend and she said something to me that brought on concern. Nothing super serious, but like a symptom of something. So I told her "I only want you to be the best version of you". Friendship has always been tricky to me. I try to be the friend I want to have which often leads to some disappointment. I think we forget that how treat others often says "Hey, treat me this way because obviously I think it's cool." But back to the quote, "I only want you to be the best version of you". Is this like, a defining trait of friendship? To you? And if it is, it's usually implied right? Like, of course you want what's best you're my friend. But, those things we deem to be implied or obvious should be said more. Just like when you tell somebody you love that you love them. You don't just say it once. So in my actions, as harsh or blunt as they may be. I truly want what's best and I too can just forget and just assume it's implied or obvious. I'm not excluded but I do try to tell people. Let people know. Yo, I appreciate you. Thanks for thinking about me. I love you. Thanks for being there. These things are so small but really important. So I tell my friend after stating my concern (because I def over analyze shit) that I only want you to be the best version of you. That's why I want to help with any like, obstacle that stands in the way of that. After saying that I'm like damn, hearing that must be great. That reassurance must create a dope feeling, knowing that somebody is on your team. Are you surrounded by people who feel that way? Do you feel that way about your friends? Maybe I think too deeply about friendship and shit, I'm open to that. But if we don't want what's best for each other and we not trying or willing to help each other reach our best selves are we even friends? Isn't that like an acquaintance?

The main point I wanted to get across is let people know this shit. You appreciate them and you're on their side. You love somebody tell them whenever that urge hits, etc etc. You get it, right? Right.
