you had me at hello

Looking through all my old pictures and messages really makes me think about how much everything has changed, especially my relationships with people. It's crazy how easily people can come and go in and out of your life, as if the times you had before weren't good enough to hold onto; as if the memories you made weren't good enough to make more. More importantly though, are the people who have been there from the beginning. It's sad and frustrating to think about the people who have left and moved on, but maybe more concentration and thought should be given to those who have been around for everything. I can count my best friends on one hand and that is the way I want it. A few years ago, I wanted to have a bounty of best friends. I could get into the meaning of "best friend", but that is irrelevant. The people I consider my "best friends" have that title because they truly are the best of the best. They have been there through everything and who I know I can always run to and hell, when I want to go do something, they're the first ones I call. I can be myself around them and be totally comfortable. So, while sometimes it's upsetting to think about the people who have come and gone, it's probably more important to focus on those who have come and stayed. Also, props to the new people in your life, because new friends are always great too :)
