HERE WE GO AGAIN

well the other night while out on what was supposed to be "a night on the town", three 20something's sat on a concrete slab and took a look at where life has taken them.

while trying to avoid a sad and unfortunate confrontation, alas one of the 3 opened their mouth and things were said, and tears were shed...

but all was not lost, and a better realization surfaced as the 3 friends took a step back and realized that this whole debacle, as silly as it may seem to the outside world, was in fact important to them...but not nearly as important as the friendship around which their meeting was based.

i know i've spoke before about just how much different this year has become than the last, and about how different I AM now as opposed to then...last year we were celebrating change, and going-away parties...this year we're celebrating 'weddings' and other such unions...and as harsh a realization as it may be to come to terms with the fact that we are all "growing up" and "moving forward"...at the same time it's not so bad!

for things will only get more complicated, and things will only progress further, and things will only keep testing our bonds...and the only thing we can do as friends, is concentrate on keeping those bonds strong...no matter what life may throw our way.

this year it's weddings, maybe the next it will be children...but the people i fell in love with oh so many years ago have always and will always remain the same, and ever dear to my heart...

i celebrate your choices my darlings, and wish us all to remain true to ourselves!

congratulations again...
