Friendships

I have very much through the years changed in so many ways as we all have. The thing that has impressed me the most is how true friendships have come along for the ride despite that change.

The best friendships in my opinion are the ones that can go days, months, even years w/ out speaking and that friendship is still intact and still there when you need it.

I literally went from the girl in Highschool & a few years after that was all about the party, all about the social aspect of my life. If I was not out having fun with friends, then I wasn't living. And then I entered the season of my life where I slowed down & got married & moved away. I'm now in the season of my life where I'm now divorced, living alone, independently financially stable, working & focused on family. Despite all of the different seasons of my life there are those still here for it all, may not talk every day, may not talk on a regular basis at all, may not have seen each other in years, but our friendship remains, it just looks different now.

I understand life gets in the way, I understand our priorities shift.

I assure you the memories we made together are still as fresh in my mind as ever. Some of the times I spent with you were some of my fondest, those memories truly were some of the best days of my life that I will never forget.

I find it sad when some people say they hated Highschool, I adored it & loved every minute of it. There is certainly a lot I would go back & change don't get me wrong, but the memories I wouldn't trade for the world.  I don't think I have ever shared so many laughs & tears during that time of my life, and I'm grateful for it all.

I'm thankful that I have been given the gift to be able to grow older, especially when so many people in my life I have lost & didn't get that chance, but I can also say growing older truly sucks sometimes, HA! I'll save that rant for another day....

To the friendships who passed the test of time know that I love you & I'm thankful for you still, and if you ever need anything no matter if we haven't seen nor spoken in some time, know that I'm still here, even if you just need an ear.
