I love you guys. (Damn it, this is embarrassing. ///)
…I’ve always felt awkward about saying this kind of thing, but I’ve been thinking about how much I want a friendship that feels like it’ll last forever. I love how we’re able to just get back into routine when we see each other, despite the many months we don’t see each other, the physical distance, and all those inside jokes with which we have nothing to do. We make new ones, building more bridges to help us cross the newly formed gaps. (I’m almost tempted to compare it to stitching, but I think that’d scar Jeannie. I’ll leave that to Kim if she ever has to stitch people up. I don’t think that’s something a nurse practitioner does though.)
I’m too much of a coward to easily say that I’d risk my life for our friendship, but I love how comfortable we are around each other, how we can poke fun at each other…albeit sometimes unsuccessfully. (Kim’s very good at topping us all, but vice versa is a no.) I like how worries seem to melt away when we’re talking. I think another part of why I dislike school more than I did in the past is because of how it gets in the way of our making more of these “could-be” moments.
I don’t like the feeling of panic and dread that returned with the ending of Spring Break. It’s like a reminder of loneliness. I thought I was used to it, but when you get a taste of being with people you’re close to, you realize it’s not something you ever really get used to. No, it’s about resignation. Like I’ve mentioned to Jeannie, I feel so spoiled by these childhood-long friendships that I don’t think any new bonds can compare. I don’t want convenient friendships; networking is so insincere. I know it’s something that has to be done, but…
Bah, I’m an emotastic sap. ;; I really don’t like talking about these sorts of things because I’m sure it’s easy to solve this. I’m just a coward. Dude, this was supposed to be cheerful entry.
