Monday

Well here it is. The beginning of another week. Only, unfortunately, this week I am back at school. Gotta love it. I mean I missed my friends and everything, just did not miss the whole going to class, having to wake up, do homework, etc. Blah. But at least Easter break is fast approaching!

So the thought on my mind lately has been friends. Old friends, new friends, life-long friends, bad "friends", etc. So many people come in and out of your life and yeah your family is always there, but its the ones who you surround yourself with that seem to make an impact...
Take my best friend for example, she is definitely a life-long friend. No doubt about it. I know she will always be there for me, through thick and thin. Yeah we have our bad days, but who doesn't? She truly understands me like nobody else. In many ways she is like a sister to me. I know I can always count on her and I hope she feels the same. :)
Then there are the friends who you think are your friend, but really arent. I recently had to deal with this situation. It sucks, to say the least. But at the same time you learn somethings about yourself and about the people you choose to associate with. These people are just another one of those life lessons you encounter. Theres no avoiding them...unfortuantely. But in the end its the lesson learned that counts. And the person who hurt you becomes a fleeting memory.
Old friends seem to leave a lasting memory, especially on me. One old friend especially. I miss her alot, but I mostly miss who she used to be. We've both changed dramatically since we both walked the halls of high school together, but in the end, its a good thing. We both chose different paths. But she was an important part of my life. I cant say everything we went through was good. I definitely learned some lessons from her too, but that time in my life is over now and I can look back and smile at the good times and forget the bad.
I guess my point is that friends are important. I dont know what I would do without my current ones and I'm not sure what kind of person I would be today if I hadn't met the ones I met before. I'm also looking forward to the friends I meet in the future and the lessons I will learn from them.

Speaking of friends, I just learned that a friend of mine's grandpa died a week ago. I was very saddened by this news because I knew him and he was a very good man. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I know what they're going through and I hope everything works out for them.

Well thats all for today...I gots to get ready for bed.
