Friends, old and new.

When I got done the job I left for my current job, a girl who also worked there, who was becoming a good friend, left on the same day to move back to her parents' home in New York. Today I got a message from her saying she was moving back to Virginia and that she's starting work back at the old (to me anyway) place on Monday. I am really excited that she is coming back- especially because I think she could continue to become a really great friend, which is something I could really use down here in Virginia. Casey is the greatest- my best friend and love of my life- but there are some things a girl just can't share with a boy. She is loud and a little crazy, but I love it- especially because I am one or both of those things a lot of the time. I could really use a friend like her close by. My girls back home mean so much to me, but it is hard to keep up with each other living so far apart. I have been thinking about how much I want to keep in better touch with my family and friends back home, especially after the last few trips home without having one of my besties around (she's studying abroad in France), yet I haven't tried very hard so far. Although my France-friend frustrates me with her lack of effort towards our friendship and towards keeping in touch- which hurts because I really value her as a friend and confidant, we've shared a lot of the same experiences and it's nice to have someone to relate to- I still want to know what's going on in her life. It sucks that I can't be there sharing the awesome experiences she's having in France- with new friends- but she's living her life, as am I, and I can't be angry or upset with her about that. I've just got to cherish the moments I have with all of the beautiful people in my life, the old friends and the new, because if you don't share life's moments with someone, who on Earth is going to believe you when you write your autobiography? :)
