Life and The Changes that Come
Honestly, I am 28 years old but feel as if I have lived 100 years. Something funny about that is as I get older the years go by faster. When I was 16, 3 years until graduation seemed like forever. Last year I left a job of 3 years and it seemed no more than 6 months of working there. Time doesn't move faster, our perception of it changes.
What am I on about? Well, firstly I have some really awesome friends I have gained some and lost many more. First there is Steele, I love him to death, he works hard, does what he can for his friends and family, and takes care of everyone he can usually at the detriment to himself. Steele is the example to me of being Selfless. I value his friendship so much that I get pissed when he doesn't talk to me for months at a time.
Secondly, there is Samantha. She is my Perseverance friend. She keeps going through being pregnant, having a disability (the easiest what to describe is a form of epilepsy), a troublesome 7 year old as well as an immature boyfriend. She keeps plugging along and getting what needs to be done, done.
Third, I would like to mention Rebecca. She has 4 kids and does what she can to take care of them. No man in her life and lives with her parents. To me she is a good example of resourcefulness. She gets anything her kids need to make it in life and have a decent one.
Lastly, there is James. James is my reminder of youth to me as well as my best mate above all others. He is the friend I can tell anything and reminds me who I am. James values similar things that I do and enjoys many of the same things as well. However, there is one major difference. James is blatantly lazy. Now how does he remind me of youthfulness? Well, he is still working through things I can honestly look back fondly or tenderly and say I remember that or working out that and it wasn't easy. He is sweet and takes care of his own. As well he tends to have that youthful goofiness that all of us who have lived difficult lives miss about ourselves.
Relationships are ever revolving and changing, even ones that are years old. I have known each of these people for at least 8 years, either spoke with or saw everyday at some point in the relationships. However, as of today I only speak with two regularly. what does this matter? Well its an example of true friendship, even if i lost contact with all of these people, if i spoke to them 10 years later i am sure we would be back to where we were in no time at all.
Those are the quality relationships I strive for, those that can help me in some way as well as those I can help as well. It's a give and take, true meaning in the relationships, and has no real compromise. These are relationships I am more than willing to fight for, you may even consider them family.
