Friendship

My two best friends and I have known each other since third grade. Notice I didn't say that we have been best friends since third grade but just that we knew each other.

 You see the thing is we didn't always use to be so close and there was never a moment where we were like  "Hey we should be best friends!" It just happen. One day I was just kinda of like "Yay! I have two besties. This is great"

And life went on. It got to the point that if someone went on vacation I couldn't wait for them to get home so I could see them again. Up till last August we had not been separated for more then three weeks time, ever.

Then came the moment that our friendship was dreading - college. Two of my closest friends would be six hours away in opposite directions and I was staying home. I was bummed but I tried not to show it. They were both so excited. They had a chance to make new friends, memories, etc. And I didn't want to complain about being left behind. After all I had made the decision that was best for me, not for them. But none of that changed the fact that I was going to miss them both desperately.

I was right I did. I remember the first youth group meeting that I went to without them. Here I was actually suppose to be a leader ( but I didn't feel like one) and the two people that I always sat with were not sitting next to me. I walk around the church feeling lost without them. I cried that night. I tried not to but I did. I couldn't help myself.

You see the besties and I had reached a level of friendship were we talked about almost everything. From God, to boys, to our grades, feelings, shoes, embarrassing moments, memories. It was all allowed. We could go from dead serious to laughing to serious again in a matter of moments. We knew each other so well that we could skip words, even have a whole conversation by just saying yep.  I was very blessed.

I knew that I could write, call, text, facetime and I did do all of that but I was greedy and I wanted them right next to be. 

But I believe that for us to do what we wanted, become the people that we are meant to be we had to go our separate paths. Our dreams and goals demanded it and we knew that. So there was nothing left to do but say our see you laters and go. So we did. And since we reunited this summer we haven't been able to stop talking. 

I hope that this is what the rest of our friendship will be like that we can be separated for months but see each other again and us to be able to pick up where we left off.
