The First TIme

I swore up & down that I would never start a blog.  I felt it was self indulgent and tedious.  But now I choose to look at it as a form of therapy.  A way for me to express myself and tell my thoughts and stories. I don't care if anyone reads it or comments on it... this is just for me. And so with that said... here I go.


I learned years ago that friends are few and far between.  When they come into your life, there's a reason.  After they've had the impact they're meant to have on your life, and you theirs, they slowly drift out.  You may see them from time to time, but the bond slowly breaks down.  There are exceptions to this rule.  Some people have such an impact that they become a constant in your world.  They become another part of you.... something you can't live without.

I had a person who was a constant.  We talked every day and spent so much time together.  He was my best friend.  After an awkward conversation between us and his significant other, he slowly drifted away from me.  It's been weeks since we've had a meaningful conversation.  I haven't seen him in a month. I've sent texts with no reply. I'm done trying to keep my friend.  I'm fighting a loosing battle.  Our time in each other's lives is up.  Our bond is broken. I'll miss my friend but I knew we wouldn't be together forever.

My advice to anyone who comes across my little piece of the world- enjoy the people you have, while you have them.  They won't be around forever...
