(no subject)
I just finished reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I wish I had the words to describe how weird/hard/bittersweet/happy/etc it was for me to read that book. Because if I did, I would be able to explain that the friendship the characters shared in the book isn't just fictional, its real. I know its real, because I had those friendships. In high school, I had my 3 best friends. I can't really remember a high school memory without them in it. Yea, we fought- but we'd make up just as quickly. To me, we were the fab four. I didnt need any other friends, because I had those 3 girls. One was incredibly outgoing, and adventurous. One was more quiet, thought before she spoke- almost the reliable one. One was sarcastic and funny- extremely creative. And there was me- I dont really know how to describe myself. I would say a mixture of them all I guess. I was harder to pin down.
Anyway, in reading the book- in reading the different situations the characters went through, I remember going through similar experiences with my friends. I remember how much those girls meant to me, how glad I was that I had them in my life. How LUCKY I was. And I fast-foward to now. It makes me sad to realize that I only keep in contact with one of them. We've been through a lot together, the four of us. A huge rift separated me from them during my senior year. But, somehow, before that year was over, I had managed to grow up, move on, and have them each come back into my life. Now, nothing has ever been the same as they once had been. We're all very different people now than we were back then. Yet, they will each always hold a special place in my heart. No matter what differences we had(or have), they were a huge part of my life. They helped shape me into the person I am today, and I am proud of the person I am today. In their own ways, they taught me about life- about myself, about others, about friendship. I hope I taught them something as well.
One day, I hope we will be able to get together, the four of us, and remember. And I hope in some way that we can develop that special bond again- though in a different way. I miss those girls that we used to all be. But I am also very proud of the women we are becoming. I hope those 3 friends of mine read this, and know that no matter what has happened in our pasts, and no matter what will happen in our futures, that I will ALWAYS be here. Friendships never completely end. They just get damaged. And I am willing and ready to repair them when they come along.
To my 3 fabulous friends- I love you, and thank you. Thank you for helping make me the person I am today, and thank you for the memories to smile back on, and thank you for being you! I hope I see you all soon, because I do truly miss you!!
