(Not a) Quick Thought (any more)

Wow, that was bad.

I wrote this blog last night at 11:47.  I was trying to fit it in the day, but I failed.  So let me try this again.  This time I'll try to be coherent.

Last night I tried to write something about keeping in touch with people.  Thinking about how crappy I wrote reminded me about the thought that's been in my head for a while now.

When high school ended, everyone said "Let's stay in touch" and all the other good stuff.  Well, that never happened once we got in college.  I only texted/called my best friends once or twice during the entire eight months that I was away at college.  Not that I didn't think about them.  I always had them in my thoughts, and I sometimes even wished that they were there with me.

I guess you can't really help growing apart if you're living hundreds of miles away from each other.  But it's really sad that the close friendships you built over many many many years wane in such short time.  I mean, I still consider them to be my best friends, but I can't block out the thought that we're not as close as we were back then.

But I've come to appreciate the simple fact that I still have them in my life.  And even if we haven't hung out in a long time, I can still trust them.  I know they've got my back.

So over the summer, I'm going to spend LOTS of time with them.  Till I get tired of them.  And next year, I'll skype/ooVoo them for real.  FO REAL.
