There is so much I should be blogging about, so much news I should be sharing, and yet my mind can’t seem to wrap itself around it enough in order to spout words expressing any meaning. Something else has been plaguing my mind, overwhelming every thought, to the point that i can think of nothing else.
Very few people are lucky to have someone in their lives that’s constant, that’s always there no matter what, that will take the wheel for you if for some reason you’re lost and unable to steer your own way. I’m one of the lucky few who has not just someone, but several someones, like that. Constants in a fluctuating world. We can go months without speaking, yet they’re always on my mind, and always there at a moment’s notice despite oceans of distance between us.
What brought this on? A simple case of Deja vu. I was going through my hit counter, browsing through the various searches that brought people to my blog. I came across one that has brought up old memories in tune with the current distractions of my mind. “Delta Airlines Powerpuff Girls Photo.” Someone new searched for something that years ago brought just such a constant figure into my life. When I was still a young teenager, my good friend David found my blog through exactly those same words, and a lifelong friendship developed.
It reminded me of the time I’ve spent with David, the time I’ve spent apart from David, and all of other constants, those friends that are always there. While other friendships fall away, while relationships come and go, when times get dark and all others shirk at the weight of true unconditional friendship, those few friends of mine are always there. I’m a lucky girl, because sometimes life can be truly oppressing, and without those few individuals around me who help to hold up the weight of life, I think i would have been crushed years ago. I owe them a large debt, one that i only hope I can repay through returning their love, affection, and unconditional friendship. Those bonds that are never withered by tears, those are the ones that matter most, and I’m truly fortunate to have so many people that I can truly depend on.
I don’t think I can ever truly thank them enough, but I can try. So thank you, all of you who know who you are. You mean the world to me.
