Day 17: Rebonding friendships

Be ready... I'm about to tell another story.



Me, Kelly, and Kristen
 




These two can easily be defined as my best friends.

You know those groups of people that can constantly finish each others sentences, make each other laugh until they cry, cry until they laugh, and are inseparable?  Yeah, that would be us.

Lately, we've all gone through many misunderstandings.  One of them has been going through a really rough time trying to figure things out for herself (and the other 2 don't necessarily agree with her process of doing so).  Through this time we felt replaced and neglected.  As if we had lost a friend, more importantly a part of ourselves.

Today was a rough day.  I came home and balled.  What else was there to do?  The friendship was slowly breaking apart.

The troubled friend had noticed I had been upset the whole day.  We got into a happy/sad argument, trying to really narrow down the reasons for why we were so distant.  After our long conversation, she got ahold of the other girl and fixed the problem with her as well.  Both sides expressed true caringness for one another as we all realized that though we had spread apart, the strong emotional bond had never left our side.

For that we were ever so thankful.

Once the car was available, I picked up my friend Kristen and we surprised Kelly at her house.  We gave her a huge hug in appreciation for all she has done for us.  How she has truly made an impact on our lives forever - for our friendship is something to cherish greatly in the years to come.



"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart"
