I've been trying to be more like you lately, Renee. You probably think it sounds silly, but you'll be too nice to say so. I remember meeting you and Pierre for the first time after I came out of rehab and was living with Ry. I've been thinking about that a lot since I moved into Eden Court. I remember thinking you were someone who was sweet, but

Oh, Justine. Honey, I don't think it's silly at all. It means so much to me... Goddess, you made me cry. In a good way. Thank you. I couldn't ask for anything greater than to hear something like this

*grins* Crying in a good way? Wow, I didn't know my own strength. I'm sorry? I didn't mean to make you cry..

It means a lot to you to have my friendship? I ... didn't know. I mean, I knew you liked me. I guess a part of me still thought you were friendly to me because of Ry. I guess I know better now, and I will do the same for you.

Thank you, Renee. Just... thank you. Thank you for not saying I was silly to write this post to you.

Sweetie, it's okay! *snuggles* These are the best tears I've cried all day, and it's been a teary one.

You do know now *smiles* I may have met you because of Ry, but I'm friends with you because of you. You've always touched my heart. It hasn't always been easy, because sometimes you withdrew, but I always felt you were worth trying harder to reach. I was right, and I'm glad I did.

There was no silliness, Justine. Only honesty and love, and making me happy.

I know I withdraw. It's something I'm working on. *smiles* Withdrawing is harder with people like Lee and Evey and Lucas in the house. I think Eden Court is good for me.

I know I'm very lucky. I haven't always deserved it. And I'm sure I've lost more friends than I've gained from my own stupidity.

I'm glad that I didn't lose you along the way.
