For Ryan and Paul

I'm listening to "Getaway Car" by Audioslave, it's been stuck in my head since work for some reason. I went to the mall yesterday with Paul and Ryan and I realized that I'm a lucky man. When I was born, I'm pretty sure God said, "I am going to bless Bryan with some really good people throughout his life." I've met my share of people who have done me wrong but it hasn't daunted my love of people. I don't walk around thinking "I love him and her," but I really do love all the people in my life. I realize that no one will understand every decision you make. When I told Paul and Ryan how I was deciding to change my life they didn't hesitate to react in an accepting and loving manner. These are two examples of the friends that the bible tells me about, they love me and accept me. I've experienced some unintentional contempt from some people I love (I don't hold it against them) because they don't understand but I can honestly say that Ryan and Paul have been all support. I thought about that a lot yesterday as we walked around the mall, engaging each other in our usual, nonsensical humor. Both of them can go from silly to serious in the blink of an eye when I need their ears. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you guys.
