The Last Supper?
Today is the day we've been leading up to all summer. So far everything in between has not felt as happy-go-lucky as I had imagined. We haven't hung out as much, we've all been extremely busy, and now unfortunately, time has run out.
I guess we're all learning that we're different from each other, that we do have our own paths and our own interests (like the discovery of our preferences towards carbonated health drinks).
The thing is, no matter how different we are, or how much we get on each other's nerves (admit it, it happens a lot), I will always love you guys. You have all been a huge part of my life, and learning about your annoying habits and awkward personality traits has not changed that.
Some people say that eventually people grow apart, that sometimes a friend is only a friend throughout one period of your life. I certainly hope that isn't true in our case. I've held on to people all the way from kindergarten (poor Ching and Angela) and I plan to hold on to the rest of you.
We've been through a lot together (boys, high school drama, fake love), and I think that validates any number of phone calls, sleepovers, and visits in the future.
What I've learned this year is that friendships are hard. Yes, familiarity breeds contempt. Sometimes there are days when all we want is to be far, far away from each other. Someone is too cranky, someone is stressed out, someone is caught up in excessive dieting. But there are also days like yesterday, when everyone is together (well, almost) and things just click.
So keep in touch, okay? If the people in all those ridiculous sitcoms can do it, so can we.
