Being away from Ohio for the past couple years has taught me a lot about who my friends are.
Some of my friends haven’t made much of an effort to stay in contact. That’s life, I guess. Some friends just grow apart and distance doesn’t help matters. It’s weird when I see some people and I think about how little I know about their lives now, when I used to be such a big part of their lives before.
But there are some friendships that have only gotten stronger since I moved away and I’m so grateful. Because they have shown me who I can count on to be there regardless of how much distance is between us. This move is going to be hard for me. Separating myself from my family is going to be so difficult. But it’s good to know that I have good people in Ohio waiting for me.
