Eight things I like about my friends:

1) They know me well enough to know my faults and weaknesses and short comings and fears… but like and RESPECT me anyway.

2) All of them are caring and kind, even if SOME OF THEM come off as assholes sometimes. 

3) They’re talented, every single one of them, though some is less visual than others… and are happy to share these talents and passions with me!

4) We also share other things, like movies or fandoms or games, dreams, etc… and get joy out of experiencing them with each other! Enthusiasm FTW! 

5) They’re always willing to help me, even when I don’t – or won’t – ask for it. ;-; And they don’t drag me through the mud with my needs, either. Very respectful of my pride!

6) They let me help them, too. ;-; <3 

7) Excited to celebrate each other’s successes! 

8) They don’t think of me as “the fat one,” even though I totally am. At least to my face.
