I can remember when I was young my parents would talk about friends they'd had in the past who they hadn't spoken with in years. I always thought to myself, that will never happen to me. I thought my friends growing up would always be there, and they're not. I spent 2 years of my life at a private art college with a group of about 100 friends in the school... and they're gone too. Or are they?
This might be a thing of the past due to sites like 'Facebook' and 'Myspace'. I recently joined myspace due to it's great reviews and well... everyone else was doing it. In the past few days I have talked to several of my friends from school and around. It makes me feel good to know that they haven't forgot me, because I couldn't ever forget them. I feel like everyday I am going to a reunion and I don't know which one of my friends will show up. It's great.
I rarely appreciate anything until it's gone, go figure. And this case is no different. My college life wasn't the typical party of a 4 year university, we were there everyday together from 8:30-4:30 (or were supposed to be). You get really attached and close with people that you spend that much time around. Especially for someone like myself, a huge mommas boy, who was living away from home for the first time. We had it great, access to all of the material necessary for improvement, great teachers (well most of them) and a surrounding group of creative individuals. I blew it. I didn't try as hard as I could've at times, so I am making up for that now.
So to all of my friends over the years, even though our paths have parted I will always remeber when...
