My first time
So this is my first journal entry I am so glad it gets to be a happy one. Tonight one, no , the oldest friend I have contacted me. We have known each other for 20 years since the first grade and have had contact off and on mostly off but thats my fault. It should always give a person strength to know that they have impacted someone enough that after 20 years they still want to know you. Please do not mistake this, it is not my ego speaking, it is my heart. There are not many people aside from my family who love me enough to remember me. Most would just as soon forget me and hold onto the memories. But not Erica, and I love you for that and for the strength you friendship has given me over the years, whether you knew it or not.
I am a person who, when I have a bad day, walls hisself up in a world dominated by great memories. It is a way to shelter myself from the hardships that come my way. It keeps hope alive and gets me through. This is the impact that Erica has had on me. Even though in the past 15 years or so we have probably only spoke a handful of times the memories have lived on. Please make no mistake, I have plenty of memories, but my times with her rank right up there enough so that I think of her monthly at least. It may not seem like a lot but when you have known someone this long and have not seen them in almost 10 years or more for them to have such an effect is profound.
As for the rest of my life, I woke up this morning so it is worth living to its fullest.
I have to go to bed now as it is 2 30 AM and I have a headache and need sleep, but there will be more entries I know you cannot wait.
