Friends...

So I've been sitting here for the past few days pondering friendship....

There has been alot of loss recently, but also alot of gains in the area of people in my life. Even as I type this, people I never thought I'd get to know better are sitting in our house, making costumes and whatnot, and just having a nice time in general.

We have had lots of good times lately, with more than a few people, (old and new alike), and it's just nice to know that there are good people in this world who don't want anything from you. Just some time and company. Just to simply be in the same room, conversing, or watching movies, or play games, or whatever.

After the beginning of this year, losing my best friend of 30 years that I grew up with, I saw alot of people come out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Or maybe I was just more open to other people. I dunno, but I'm very appreciative of it all. Maybe there was divine intervention from her to make sure there was still happiness in my life? Who knows. But she was definitely the type to make sure of that when she was alive.... :) No one can replace another; like a square peg in a round hole. But some of the gaps have been filled. Time may patch up the other gaps as well... I may not see everyone as much as I like, but I know they are there...

Either way, I'm alot happier being away from certain toxic people, and having the good people take over the role of friend. ;o)
