a old friend

You know those friends where you grew up with them..the friends that lived right down the block from you, the friends you traveled with, slept over with, played mall madness with, and learned to ride bikes and rollerblades together? HAHA ok maybe not the mall madness part but yea those friends, the childhood friends that never leave your mind no matter how old you get cause the memories were JUST that great. But theres always that one friend that always had something behind the scenes that was just not as healthy as the usual childhood life. And that no matter how happy you were and no matter how much fun you had with them, you always had something deep inside you that felt..well for lack of better words for now, bad..bad for them. And as time went on, you grew apart and wished everyday that things didnt have to change between the friendship and that we didnt have to move on with our lives separately. But still living vicariously through their lives just hoping one day, they'd find themselves again and be happier than ever. Somewhere along the lines of this rant, I dont know why but I dont think I could be any more happier for THAT one childhood friend which whom i miss dearly has finally found what shes been searching for all her life.

After 22 years of searching, wondering, and thinking she finally found her mom via FACEBOOK. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? It's almost like a Shawn Hunter from Boy meets world story..and somewhere in my heart as corny as it sounds is actually relieved and more than happy to know that she finally pieced together a piece of her life that meant so much to her growing up 22 years later.

"Strength is happiness. strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being" -Daisaku Ikeda
