Have you ever met someone that makes you feel like you are the only person that could possibly matter at that point? Like everything they do just makes your day a little bit better, and even if you're mad at them...all it takes is one phone call or one text and then everything's right in the world again? Well, that's my friend Wil. Wil is one of, if not, the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He graduated from UNT last semester and to be honest, I'm extremely lucky to have met him when I did. Without Wil I don't know where I would be now. I was severely depressed after coming out of high school, so much so, that I refused to talk to people. However, I joined a sports show with NTTV and met Wil the third week we were there when I decided to call one of the best goalies in the NHL a piece of Swiss cheese. Thus beginning this friendship, that I hope, lasts for a long time. After this short escapade with Ben Bishop being Swiss cheese and me texting him about how frustrated I was with myself. Then it was playoff baseball, and come to find out he's a Nationals fan. So that made the World Series fun for us. However, the World Series was a weird event because where most people want to constantly be a jerk to someone that is cheering for the opposing team, he was constantly making sure I was okay, and that I was still chill and wasn't adding to the pain I felt as I watched the title slip from the Astros hands. And then after that, when the cheating scandal came out. Everyone else starting ripping into me, but wouldn't let me state my side. Yet he would let me say my stuff, and he would actually have a civil conversation with me. Wow! What a concept.
Wil also helped me a lot with coming out of my shell. He's taught me football and how to say "uh" less and doesn't take me too seriously and doesn't let me get in my head. He helped me loosen up and become a better person. But if I ever need help or I ever need someone to hear me out, or just to let me vent he is there for me. I don't deserve him, I'm honestly such a jerk, but he sticks by me, and I'm a better person for it.
I guess that's my spiel over my best friend.
