time traveling

I just spent the day with one of my oldest friends. Although we don't keep in touch very often during the semester, when she comes home, it's like I've forgotten how much I need her. And all of those friends. The friends that have known me in every stage of my life- childhood, teenage years, all of it. The friends who've stood the test of time.

When I am with them, its like I get pieces of myself back. I don't know if that makes any sense, but in a time of overwhelming uncertainty and complication, they bring me perspective. Whether its going back to reminisce about old memories, or to talk about all of the crap we're dealing with now, or just laugh- it's like getting to spend some time with the Beth I was when life was simpler. With the friends who have always been there for me, and who I know will always be there for me. I am truly grateful to be blessed with so many loving, wonderful friends.

Today, this was exactly what I needed. What we both needed.

That's all :)
