This Gratitude In Your Heart

Well the words in the picture pretty much speak for themselves. This is Ichigo, Rukia, and Kaien. Rukia's expression stating to Ichigo she's sorry for all the trouble she's caused him. Sorry that she changed his future and that he had to chase after her to save her when she's still feeling guilty over Kaien's death.

Ichigo's expression saying that it's alright. She sees Kaien in him and therefore she feels Kaien is saying that it's alright as well. As friends they have an understanding of each other's feelings without saying a word.

This is how all friends should be in my opinion. Friends sympathize with you and do their best to stick with you. True friends endure your pain and stick with you 100%. For people like Rukia, don't think you're alone. Don't think you aren't worth it. Somewhere, someone is thinking of you because you matter to them.

For people like Ichigo, don't let up being a friend. You're doing the right thing. Keep believing in your friends. Sometimes they need it more than they let on. I hope whoever sees this will tell their best friends just how much they appreciate them. Not everyone is as fortunate as us.
