Friends:
Friends are expressed as reflections of ourself. Things that we love, loath, value, and take for granted. Many people view them as commodity, or tools to be used. There are a few however that see them as people, and not "things". I can say throughout my life, I've had many friends. They pop in and out of my existence frequently, as I've had best friends at certain time periods . Aloof, but this is really the enigma described as my life.
Looking back now, the most alone I've ever been in my short 25 long years of life I can remember every make-your-face-hurt-laugh and the moments when I needed someone most but no one answered my calls. I've learned, as a sad lesson in life, no one can ever help you even if they did return your call, stop by randomly, make a surprise birthday party. I guess I dreamed that one day, the friendships I see on TV, so thoughtful and cherished I would experience one day. Don't get my wrong, I do have probably a handful of good friends like this, and I admit it isn't easy when they are across the country. As you get older, and maybe more fragile, it is increasingly difficult to hold onto friends let alone make them. Wherever I go, I always find someone to buddy up with, but what if I don't want to go anywhere, anymore? I'm tired.
