I love the feeling of seeing old friends that you haven't seen in years and the minute you meet it's as though no time has passed. The connection is still there. You can laugh, cry, and giggle your butts off about the most ridiculous thing and you both are still there, still connected, still the same way you remembered.
Life does a good job of robbing us from one another. Maybe I picture it completely wrong, but our jobs, families, bills, errands, all the things that qualify us to be "adults" will rob us from the relationships we cherish the most if we aren't careful. Sooner then we realize it will be 4 years and you'll finally find time to meet up with a friend who at one point you couldn't go a single day without talking to.
I don't know how to find the balance of guarding those relationships though. If each doesn't have it in mind to protect them then they can disintigrate faster then we would have ever anticipated.
Regardless, I'm thankful for those whom I can still call up who I don't see every day and cry my heart out if need be and they are right there will me. They know where I've come from. They don't judge they just love me through it. Those are true friends, and I can only hope that in turn I can be that for them, if they let me.
