Many times I find myself in the mood to journal or blog. My friend Mon who came for an interview was writing in a journal every day that she was here, and it reminded me of my Sanrio Keroppi diary that had a little plastic lock! I thought it was such a good idea at how often she wrote in it. It would be nice to go back and read it. I stopped however, because as a kid, I'd only write about the really good times or the really bad times. I usually have these crazy ideas in my head that I want to convey, but then I grow hesitant, and ultimately either write about a completely different topic or not write at all (the latter being more often than not). The problems of a public blog! So...hopefully I don't end up going off tangent like I usually do. =P.
Lately, I've had friends re-appear in and others disappear out of my life. In the past, I would go after the ones who would start to disappear. In other words, I would make an effort to keep in touch with them or to continue to be there for them the way that they were not for me. It's sad to realize what can get in the way of a friendship between two people.... relationships, jobs, other friends, life! Back in the days, I'd hold the light in the dark, until the friend decides to come back. Now, I don't know whether I'd call these individuals friends or mere acquaintances, or whether or not I'm jaded or simply not naive anymore. And then there are the friends who suddenly pop in my life. It's funny who I've gotten closer with too. There are a few friends that I talk to on almost a daily basis, who I might not have even spoke to unless I ran into them. It's kind of weird actually sometimes...
And to the friends who have always been my friends, thank you. :)
