can i just say that i miss my friends terribly? Not anyone in particular (th0ugh i do have some in mind...) but i mean in general for the most part. Friends from middle school, high school and those most recent. I'm not even graduated from college yet but i feel as though i have moved on to a new stage in my life. i think that i've been thinking about it a lot lately. but my friends, as well as my family have made me who i am today. those good friends, and bad friends, that molded me and shaped me....i have to be thankful for them. I sometimes wish that i could hold onto those friendships for all eternity, but as we all know too well, that life takes us down different pathways, but doesn't necessarily mean that bond is broken. Sometimes i look back at people that were in my life for a brief time and realize that even they have made a huge impact on my life, otherwise i wouldn't think of them from time to time. It isn't necessarily a sad kind of missing them, just enough that i wish i could see them again, in hopes that they are doing well and maybe even thank them for being my friend in the past.
so to all of you. thank you. seriously. from the bottom of my heart. because we can't all stay friends forever, you make a huge impact on my life while we were friends.
i guess the hard part is moving on and accepting change. change...such a simple word and a hard task. looks like i better get started on accepting this change.
good day to you all.
you are so totally right. i have been thinking a lot about that too. there's a really cool piece about that:
ReplyDelete"I was on a train on a rainy day. The train was slowing down to pull into a station. For some reason I became intent on watching the raindrops on the window. Two separate drops, pushed by the wind, merged into one for a moment and divided again-each carrying a part of the other. Simply by that momentary touching, neither was what it had been before. And as each went on to touch other raindrops; it shared not only itself, but what it had gleaned from the other. I realized that we never touch people so lightly that we do not leave a trace. We need to become conscious of what we unintentionally share, so we learn to share with intention."
