The AC Weekend was incredible.. how do you put that into words? There were so many there I hadn't got to meet yet.. I am so very happy I finally did get to meet you all. And a few I had met and so happy to see again. I have always considered myself to be blessed to be a part of this family.
But as with all families we have our flaws. We are all human and we all make mistakes. We all fall from grace and we all have to get up at the end of the day and be held accountable for our actions. Anyone who knows me .. knows I would never intentionally hurt anyone I love and care about. But I did and I have made my peace with them. She knew I was in a bad place and going thru alot of personal issues. And that I never meant to hurt her.Thanks dear one for your special message.. and I have missed you too and so glad you are home again safely and sad that you feel as if your heart was left here. It really was because you left it behind with so many of us.
I think it's important to remember what the definition of a friend is.. I think this girl could teach some people alot. A friend doesn't bail when you screw up. They may say.. hey you screwed up.. you need to make amends. But they also take the time to understand why you might of did or said something so out of character for you. A friend is loving.. forgiving.. caring.. understanding.. A friend is willing to look at all sides of the coin so to speak.
I am human and I make alot of mistakes. And sadly sometimes even when I don't mean to.. someone gets hurt getting caught up in the mess I call my life. But a true friend.. someone who has taken the time to really know me. Knows that I have a huge heart.. I would do anything for anyone. And I would never on purpose hurt anyone I love. I am just the type of person who normally puts all others before myself.
So with that said.. all I can say is that I would do all the things I have done for any of you all over again. To be a part of this Staind family is such an honor. And for those of you there for me in my darkest hour this last week.. I love you beyond words!! You never left my side and you were totally understanding. So thank you .. I wish I could say more but there are not enough words to express how much you few being there for me has meant. You have really taught me what being a friend really means!
To AC!! To Aaron for two amazing nights of shows! To making two very special girls dreams come true. And to all the wonderful friends I finally got to meet.
