It's funny how much can really happen in a year, I mean it doesn't really seem that long until you look back on it you know? Like how at that time you were writing "2010" instead of "2011" or how your hair looked long or short or even more dramatic the people you were socializing with.
At a beginning of a year you could be closer than ever with your best friend and one slip up, you don't even look eachothers way anymore. Then you meet new people and you start to mature or in some cases immature because of who you hang out with. You might discover you hated the way you were acting and you couldn't ever believe you were so immature.
It's funny though because due to recent conversation with TJ I got to thinking about how I was such good friends with Jeannie, the best of friends really, and over literally a semester period of time we just stopped talking altogether, never actually REALLY try to make up or get back to the way things were because we knew because of the friends we had now made we wouldn't ever be able to go back to what we had.
I was also thinking of my past best friends and how I would usually have 2, one being my "school best friend" and the other being my "mormon best friend". I had my school friends and I had my church friends, but I never really hing out with Mormons at school because the mormon group bugged me so much, not even for like a legitimate reason, probably because I was jealous that they all were best friends and there was never drugs or drinking problems or worldy problems within the group because they were all good mormons. Yeah, this is the first time I have ever admitted to that. Not that my group of friends were bad people because they weren't mormon, they were awesome, they just never could escape some sort of drama. There TENDS to be less drama in mormon groups. Anyways, right now I have one best friend. One. She happens to be mormon so I don't have to have two. Of course I have other close friends that I couldn't imagine getting rid of. But my best friend is Sadie and she is the tyoe of person I can be my full and complete self with without worrying she was going to judge me because she is just as odd as I am. One thing thats different between me being bestfriends with Sadie than with Jeannie is that me and Jeannie were total opposites but somehow we managed to remain friends for a long time and keep ourselves fascinated with how different we were and secretly judge. With Sadie, it's like we were twins separated at birth, we have more things in common than things not in common. Of couse we are different like any other set of best friends but we now I have a friend that I have a common ground with. And to think we became best friends in less than a years time. LESS THAN. It literally only took one class bright and early in the morning. Crazy if you ask me.
In a year, you might have a different boyfriend/girlfriend, different style, different friends, and maybe a different personality, but as long as you hang onto the good things instead of the bad, you will be able to get through the year with now struggle.\
