A little random and confusing at parts but hey it indicates my thoughts at the time of writing.
Life has been going at a very fast pace lately. Packing up my room and my sister’s has been the focus in my household. Feelings are flying about leaving to college. My best friend lives 2,000 miles away in my home state and she made the move to start her new journey. She was sad and nervous, but excited.
This was a big milestone for her and it just made be very grateful that we are still friends through everything in life.
Backstory: We became instant friends in pre-school, remained friends through every terrifying fight (I mean like throwing rocks and screaming). In fifth grade My family moved 2,000 miles away. Now, we were a rollercoaster friendship- sometimes best friends, other tomes enemies- so I am so thankful that we were on good terms. I remember the last night in my hometown like it was yesterday. Thunderstorming, happiness, and tears of my bestfriend’s little sister. Everything became so surreal that night. We stayed friends through everything. Still best friends today from pre-school to freshmen in college.
Yesterday, when she called me to talk to me on her milestone it made me realize that she is my best and only true friend. She always forgave me and never held a grudge. We tell each other nothing but the truth. We stick up for each other no matter what.
I have had the hardest time finding a friend as loyal here in my new state. Every single friend I have now has something to say about someone- and not a good something. Instead of talking about ideas and plans, they just talk about celebrities and people. They are so cruel, the kind of friends who put each other down before picking them up. But the weird thing is- I still consider them friends.
They were raised different and people are different. There are different kinds of friendships, they aren’t cookie cutters.
Friendship is complicated. These souls have been included in my life for a reason. They have shared experiences with me that cannot be erased.
