Friends
That last post- I really wrote it yesterday.
Today I had a conversation with a friend of mine who I really hadn't talked to in a long time. We did some major catching up on things & realized that although we were so far apart and hadn't talked and were leading drastically different lives, that we were still having the same overarching life realizations at the same time. Like realizing that a major part of our life's philosophy is helping people. And that both of us want to be in a class (some kind of class) everyday for the rest of our lives.
I've been really picky about my friends lately. Extraordinarily choosy about who I want to spend time with. (If I haven't spent time with you recently, please don't worry, I haven't had a car or alot of time either). I'm really just not interested in hanging around people who I won't miss tomorrow. So if I don't think that I will still be Friends with you 10 years down the line... *shrug* Most of the people who I am Friends with are still in Wisconsin. Some of them will be visiting this summer. One person who I think I could be good friends with is moving out of the state. But I'm going to call her on her birthday & let her know that she has a friend invitation. I am moving downtown to a place that will hopefully have more people I can be Friends with. (notice the capital f) I need people who think like me, who motivate me, who stimulate me. I need people who are thoughtful & caring & awesome in their intelligence. I need people who demand that I be the best person I can be- all the time.
I'm not interested in drama. I'm not interested in petty fights or emotional manipulation. I'm not interested in someone who doesn't have time to be friends with me. I'm not interested in someone who has nothing to offer. I want more Jasons and Aprils and Katies and Annas. I want to meet more Megans and Tiffs and Jackies & Christinas.
I want to thank the people I just listed for the roles they played in my life, no matter how fleeting their presence. I love you & you make me want to be a better person. I wish you all the joy one life can hold. Never hold back.
