Sometimes my friends are more a part of my life than my family. But,
then they leave, or I leave and another friend takes their place. I
never forget a friend and some mean more than others, but because lives
of friends rarely ever stay parallel, a friend almost never "becomes
family." I'm thinking of this because on my birthday none of my friends
came to see me. Albeit, my best friend from home, Frank, was the only
one in town, still we are kinda 'best friends'. He had something else
to do-I suspect it was his new girlfriend, guess the dirty bastard
never heard of 'bros before hos'...but seriously, it didn't matter that
much to me. Which brings me to my point: even though Frank didn't make
it, my family was there, and it was okay. I always need friends, except
when I have my family. And even when I don't have my family, and I do
need friends, I don't need a friend that I've known for 15 years or a
friend that is "like a brother." I just need someone. For me, friends
are kind of like the stuff that fills up different shaped empty vases.
Whenever I move/a friend moves etc. I'll empty the vase and fill it up
eventually with a friend that will fit in that one that has become
vacant. Its important to have friends or have A friend, but I don't
know if its imperative that James from middle school always be one to
fill up one of those vases...maybe everytime I go home, I'll empty one
of the vases and put him in, but when I leave again, I'll empty him out
like I always do. Friends are just friends. Much of the time quite
important, but almost always interchangeable.
