Good Friends Are Hard to Come By

People come in and out of your life everyday. The saying 'people come into your life for a reason a season or a lifetime,' always comes to mind when I meet someone new. For me, most people come into my life for a season. Very few have stuck around for the long haul.

When standing at the precipice of a major life change, one of the toughest things I will have to leave behind, are my friends. I don't like to think of it as leaving anything behind. The world is small in this day and age, and technology grants us the privilege of being able to communicate with loved ones even when they are thousands of kilometers, and three times zones away.

Despite this, actually contemplating the fact that you cannot email a hug, a quiet look of encouragement, or a quick glance at the right time to say 'I know exactly what you are thinking right now..' is tough.

I love my friends. I know everyone says that. But, I really do. They are my family, my confidantes. I keep a very small group of friends. I like it that way. The world moves so fast, that it is impossible to have more than a few good friends and be able to truly be interested and involved in all of their lives. If I could pack my friends, and take them with me I would. Unfortunately, I just don't have the space.
