Best Friends. 1.12.09

An old friend once told me, "My dad said the friends you make in college are the friends you'll keep for life. The friends we have in high school are temporary and fake." And, as much as I didn't want to believe this four years ago, it seems now that this statement couldn't be more wrong. It wasn't the high school friends that were fake, it was us. You were fake, I was fake, we were fake together, side by side. Everything was temporary. Our style, our haircuts, our voices, our heights, and our dates. Our lives were temporary. But now, now we know who we really are. We've found ourselves and we've found each other. And now some of those old friends might not be in our lives, but it's not their fault, they didn't leave us on purpose. They grew up and realized who they really were and who they really wanted to become.
