Friends.

18Dec10

When we all grow up, everyone is busy.

Schedules consume you, deadlines come with each day, priorities change and so do you.

I’ve never been someone who had that one lifelong best friend, but I’ve had and have good friends. In a year that has meant a lot of change on many levels, I’ve drifted away and apart from a lot of people. A month ago I started a new job that I dove into right away. I barely had time to text my sister let alone keep in touch and up to date with friends. And I never heard from a lot of them, either. But I didn’t even think about that. Everyone is busy and I had a tough job to do.

I don’t like to get on here and talk about me and my life and bla bla bla, but I just wanted to say that I think everyone should take a step back sometimes and think about who a true friend is in life. It’s someone you can pick back up with after a month not being in touch. It’s someone who doesn’t judge you for working hard and immersing yourself in a new project that you want to make successful. It’s someone who isn’t going to stand over you and verbally punish you for not being in touch when you were busting your ass and trying not to cry to get through the challenges on your own. It’s someone who doesn’t hurt you when you come out the other side from one of the hardest uphill battles that you actually just completed, and even YOU can barely believe it in the first place.

A friend is a friend.
