life is simple.. just not easy...
the nature of friendship is very interesting to me... how all kinds of people come into our lives + drift away almost as fast as they entered. often we first meet through shear coincidence. we become closer to some more than others... but all of which contribute something to our lives no matter how small. people change + some change more than others... but i think that there will always be a part of each that will remain with us for quite some time after we've gone separate ways. we are only the sum of our experiences after all. sometimes when i see + talk to an old friend i think about how much closer we once might have been + how much more we once had in common... sometimes it makes me feel a little sad inside to see just how much things actually do change. i wonder about my present relationships + how time will inevitably change them too. i succeed when i try to see all of this in a positive light... there is far too much negativity in the world around me to perpetuate even more of it.
everything requires change... if even only a little bit... otherwise life... in my eyes... becomes dull, predictable, monotonous, far less interesting + exciting than when there is always something new around me. i keep poems, letters, drawings and photos given to me by friends... these things represent these individuals in their self expression... it's a very personal thing for me and it's incredibly important because those lives filled a space in mine.. i wouldn't be the same person i am today without them. change is essential to my life... as close friends become acquaintances space is left behind for someone new to fill + the cycle of friendship continues. when time carries me fifty years older i'm going to look back throughout my life, at the people i shared it with + at the great memories they've blessed me with.... and then i'm going to smile.
