The Act of Friendship
I had the opportunity to see one of my dearest
friends and it was great. While I enjoyed the trip so much as well as spending time and reconnecting with my friend, I think the
trip gave rise to some feelings I’ve been nursing and trying to bury. I like to think I’m tough and I can
handle anything, but it’s the simple things like
this that makes me all emotional and gooey inside. I miss my friends, I’ve always missed them
and will always do, but the trip made it real for me. I’ve handled it like a
grown up and not whine about it, but the fact
always remains, I miss you girls, I really do. You know who you are. I
miss finishing a conversation with see you tomorrow. I miss
girls night. I miss shopping together. I miss our hearts to hearts and
girl talk and all the crazy fun things we do together. But I know you’re all a phone call or plane ride away.
I like change, but any change that involves new places I’m usually not a
big fan of. I’ve always been that way since I was a kid. I won’t say I’m
terrible at making friends but I’m not the best either. Add the fact that I’m very picky (for all the right reasons) with whom I choose to be
friends with makes it even harder. That been said it’s no surprise I’m yet
to have a close tie with someone here, someone I can call friend.
him and I can bare my heart to him, there are just somethings or ways
that a girlfriend completes you. At the end of the day I
can survive without girlfriends but the fact is that I need them. “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no
survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to
survival.- C.S Lewis. I need
them because they are my support group outside my family, having
them there and knowing they will always be there gives me a sense of security. I don’t like to force friendship, I like it to happen
naturally, as is the case with every single one of my friends because
at the end of the day I cherish everyone I call friend.
I don’t have a lot of them but I sure know they are all rare and special
in their own way.
for new things, new friendship, new possibilities, but keep the old ones
closer. If no new one comes along, I
still have the ones I have and I’m grateful for them, even if they are all
hundreds and thousands of miles away.
say it and let them know they are appreciated and not taken for granted.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend everyone.
I bet your friends will love this post. Friendships are truly a blessing when they are done God's way, I am praying for my future best friend because I haven't had a chance to experience what you have just describe, but…one day.
I can relate because I'm also not the best at making friends. I've had to let go of friends in the past, for many reasons. The way you describe your friendships is very special. I can tell you definitely have an unbreakable bond with those girls. It might take time to develop friendships in your new surrounding, but it'll come at the right time.
Have fun with your girls! 🙂
I totally agree. True friends are hard to find and great ones are simply amazing 🙂

I hope you get to experience true friendship like I've had the opportunity to. It doesn't come easy but it's possible with the right person.
