Today, I learned something.
Something that I think is very valuable.
I learned that I have 3 best friends.
Cassie, Alyssa, and Alyssa.
These are the girls who I have been friends with for as long as I can remember.
I mean, honestly, cassie, alyssa, and I, have went through EVERYTHING together.
From chicken pox, to missing teeth, first time shaving our legs, boys, pretty much everything you can imagine, we did together.
And Alyssa (P.) and I go way back to them Temple Hill days. Although, we weren't always the best of friends. That changed in 10th grade.

But anyway, these are the girls that are always there for me. The girls that know pretty much everything about me. And it's funny, I never see any of them, but, it hasn't changed a thing. That is true friendship. Whether it be new jobs, miles, or college that seperate us, it doesn't make us any less of friends. These are the girls that I can tell anything to. These are the girls that I can trust with everything I have.

These aren't the girls who say one thing to your face, and say the complete opposite behind your back. These aren't the girls that tell you one thing, and mean another. These aren't the girls that will leave you.

Of course, I have a few other friends. But, none of them that I can say I am really close to. Some of them I used to be, and others I haven't. You know, the ones you only talk to once in a while, or only say "Hi" if you happen to run in to them. Sometimes, I wish that was different. But that's all a part of life. Growing. And sometimes when you grow, you grow a part from people that were once your closest friends. People grow in different directions as they get older and there is nothing you can do about that. You just have to learn how to adapt as you go through it.

That is exactly what I am trying to learn how to do. Adapt. Adapt to everything around me that is changing, for the better or worse. It's hard, but it just a part of life that I have to overcome. There is no running or hiding from it. There is no choice but to stand there and wait for it to hit you in the face.
