The Nature of Friendship
I find that starting anew in a new place makes me appreciate all of my "old" friends. I miss different aspects of my relationships with people. Sometimes I miss being able to just hang out at Ron and Anna's house, where we would spend all night playing board games and having a couple beers. Anna would bake something delicious for us to eat. She would get terribly embarrassed at certain things. I miss just spending time with Kat and Sarah. I miss discussing random micro things and having crack anime conversations with Janet. I miss Winnie, her enthusiasm and her sometimes craziness - being around her makes me feel more spontaneous. I love each relationship for the unique qualities it brings to my life. Each one a different kind of joy.
I know I will make new good friends here during vet school. Sometime. I just don't think I've found them yet, or at least I don't know if I've found them. I sometimes feel all alone in my crowd. Things will get better I'm sure. I'm still adjusting to the move. I wish it would hurry up, though.
For me, the true nature of friendship is someone I can count on for a lifetime and someone I can have fun with. I suppose that since my family has never been close, I sort of adopt my good friends as family. Sometimes, I even decide all on my own that they are part of my adoptive family. If you are one of those people, it's too late for you. I can be rather persistent.... ;)
