Learning what life is all about

First and foremost: I love my friends. Carrie and Matt are the best friends a guy could have. When the going gets rough and the pressure is on (like NOW) they stick by me and help me through it. When I've felt lost and hopeless, just drifting through hours at the valet in front of Flemings, both of them are there for me when I need them the most. It took years to develop our friendship and there have been only a few major challenges. As of late, however, I'm learning so much important stuff so fast that its mind numbing. But when the lobster (me) is about to hit the boiling water (when I need help the most), they're the hand that slaps the chef across the face and says "LOBSTERS ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD!!!" I have the same kind of unconditional appreciation for them that can only be compared to how a fat kid loves cake (I'm eating at the moment so everything is about food). I want them to know that I will always show the same compassion and trust towards them that they've shown me recently and over the years. I love you guys in a non-gay way :D

What could trigger such a statement as this previous one? Well it's hard to put in words cuz its overwhelming, but heres the gist of it: Hannah. And it's not just because her name is the same spelled backwards as it forwards. My 'uh-ohs' of the past few days have been more or less sparked by her. And I don't mean to make it sound like she caused me pain and heartbreak to a degree I've never experienced, but a talk with her brought up many things I haven't really thought about and evaluated before. They are mostly relationship issues with a heavy dose of personal motives and values mixed in with a dash of personality traits and a sprinkle of love. Even as we speak, I'm still in the midst of it all. Either I'm in the eye of the storm and there's plenty more to follow or it's the home stretch. Whichever it is, it's draining me. And while I can't wait for it to be over, I'm glad it's happening cuz I'm learning things they don't teach you in the classroom. Talking with Carrie and Matt about it has helped me clear my head and give a meaning to all the happenings. Matt is more or less going through the same thing so he and I can relate. Carrie isn't exactly having a walk in the park either with her relationship, so we share our thoughts as well. I wish the best to the both of them in their entities and that everything will work out securely in the end.
