FRIENDS
I was just reading through my friend Alma’s blog when I again felt so homesick. She was blogging about the get together she had with our friends Cherryl, Karen, and Karen’s sister Donique. A small part of me wished I was there. These gatherings are always a lot of fun. I crave for their company. Being friends with them since our elementary days, I feel like they are the ones who really know me. They can be brutally honest with their comments, but their honesty is one of the most important reasons why our friendship works. Each one of us have different personalities. Somehow, we seem to find a common ground. We don’t usually have the same views when it comes to politics, religion and affairs of the heart but we coexist in each one’s uniqueness.
Although the major reason why I felt so down and homesick today was because I was all alone at the place where I’m staying and I couldn’t get anyone to go with me to the movies. I don’t want to impose on people, especially with people that I really haven’t known that long. I guess I just missed the company I used to have back home. I miss hanging out with them and how we can just talk endlessly about love, life, sex and politics and never get bored. Right now, I haven’t found that kind of connection with someone. I have already met a few friends and I hope to find that same connection sometime. This reminds me of a girl scout song which goes:
"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."
