It seems that people do still read this. Which is strange for me to think about, since I've been feeling lonely quite often lately, but (undeniably) a pleasant surprise. Someone told me I should write more often, which is certainly true. I agree wholeheartedly. So of course, upon getting home, one of the first things I'm doing since my guest has left is sitting down to write this.
I got to spend time with three of the best people in the world today. I love these lovely individuals so much. That's almost an understatement. I miss them so much it's almost unbelievable and it's hard to imagine that I hadn't seen them in so many months. But it was really great to spend that time with old friends (okay, so maybe they're not 'old friends' in that they themselves are not old and we haven't exactly been friends for decades or anything, but our lives no longer intersect on a regular basis, and so they are 'old friends' as far as I am concerned).
I was in the middle of writing this lovely post when I got interrupted...for an hour or so (at least I think it was that long). Anyway, I adore spending time with these wonderful people. And I'm really sad that I don't get to see them every day anymore, because I really wish I could. It's nice to know that I can still sit down with them around a table and swap stories for hours at a time, even though a lot has changed. It's going to be hard for me to find friends as close as these where I am right now.
I know I will eventually, but...I miss them. I miss hanging out with people in the certain way I did in the very places we did. It is all so full of memories, and I sometimes very much wish we could have time together more than the once a year that we are going to be lucky to get with all of our hectic schedules now (and in the future).
I'm rambling now, so I'll wrap it up. Thank you so much, all of you, for being some of my best friends ever, and for being awesome people in general. I hope you all have a lovely year and I can't wait to see you again!
