I feel suddenly inspired to explain how I view my relationships with the people around me.
We've all changed so much; it's really quite amazing. So have I, since I've met you all. It really is the most amazing thing to realize how far we've come. Why this all of a sudden? I'm not quite sure myself. I suppose that recent events have led to this entry.
Have any of you ever considered how surreal a feeling it is to be part of someone's life despite the fact that you haven't seen each other in years? To still feel connected to that person? I guess you can chalk this up to my religious upbringing, but I have the surreal feeling that I'm watching over you as time goes by. I can't be there to help you in times of need, or even just to hang out, but as you tell me what's happening in your lives, I can play out the series of events in my head and see them as if I was there myself. Perhaps I'm just overly imaginative. All I can say is that I'm honored to be your friend and to be there for you as much as possible.
Of course, it goes without saying how much you've all done for me. I honestly don't think I would be here, or who I am today, without your support and guidance. So, I'll watch over you as you watch over me. After all, isn't that what being friends is all about?
