this week's theme was all about friends.

It all started last Saturday when I got a phone call from Adam,
I wasn't that surprised when he called cause we usually talk on the phone.
But I was definitely stunned by what he had to say.
He started off slow,
reminiscing how much he missed the time we spent together,
it got me thinking.
Then he started explaining to me how he feels like I seem as if I'm better then him and all the others cause I don't drink or smoke anymore.
for the record, that has NEVER crossed my mind.
He reassures me that, no matter what he'll be there for me and all he can hope for is the same from me,
I gave him the assurance that I don't think I'm better than any of them,
I'd defend them to the grave no matter the circumstances,
and that being busy is no excuse for my absence.

That needed conversation sparked the beginning of my themed week unintentionally.

By Sunday I decided to stop debating when and how I would send a letter I've written to an old friend.
I did it the generation X way,
scanned it into my computer and sent it to her through an e-mail.
I started having my doubts when I didn't get a reply back and by Wednesday night when I found out she had read it and did nothing about it,
I was starting to believe what everyone said, the comments about her changing into a completely different person, her not caring, and the reasons behind why others gave up on her started to sink in.
I gave it another twenty four hours,
and just a few hours before midnight I got a reply back to the long a waited e-mail.
I'll admit a lot of tears were shed from all of it,
and I felt like I couldn't wait.
I had to get an immediate reply,
so I reached her the only way I felt comfortable with.
Through AIM,
a little more impersonal,
fast,
and it definitely got the job done.
I was always a better writer than a speech kind of person.
We talked it out,
and to be honest I didn't know if it would work,
if it'd feel the same.
I don't think I'd know for sure until I actually see her,
but for now...
This will do.

On Friday,
I asked my group of friends out for a talk.
Something that has been bothering me ever since that falling-out with a certain group member.
I learned a lot from the fight,
I learned who I gave so much trust in didn't really deserve it.
I learned that sometimes good intentions just aren't so good.
We talked everything out and decided to give it another shot,
we cared about each other far too much to just let it go.

Just today,
I finally saw Kim after what seemed like a decade (which in reality was only a little over a week)
We talked about how her mom thinks we're gay because we spend so much time together and pondered what other people thought when they read about 'how much we miss each other on our tweets.
We just can't really help it,
we're almost conjoined at the hip,
but regardless, we're not gay.

On the same day,
I finally got to see David and Sara.
It feels like a year since I've seen them,
but it's refreshing to see old faces and to catch up with cups of warm coffee.
Lastly,
I bumped into Sean while at Starbucks,
we didn't get to talk much, just asked the same ol' questions.
I really believe that there isn't enough hours in a day now.
Unfortunately, I just can't do anything about it. :\

This week was about friendship,
this week made me realize that as long as we try we'll make it through the end.
