Those

It's been far too long since I've had a bit of an in depth thought, or moment of truth, or something of the sort.

Until today.

It has become apparent to me over the last few days just how important friendship is and yes, of course, there are the poems and the quotes and the messages that try to tell us how important our friends are and how we need them in our lives and the support and help and love and kindness they bring to our lives. Ra Ra Raaaa, for want of a better word.

Me, the freak I am, see things differently. I'm personally frightened of people as a whole, their minds and the way people think freaks me out a lil. However, at this point in my life, specifically in the last few days, I have come to have a different understanding. Currently, I am trying to determine what I am going to do with my life when this whole routined school life that I cling so hard to, is over. When I think of all the possibilities in the world that I am presented with, the selfish thought comes to my mind: 'this is my life, I can do what I want with it', I have made the partial decision to take my life to the city of Geelong, some 1000 kilometres from this place I call home. At this moment, when I decided this, I thought of that, the distance, that would keep me away from some of the people and FRIENDS, that I love with all of my heart. It is this, the sadness that develops from the prospect of leaving them, that truly conveys the ultimate need for friendship in our lives.

We love them, and without them, we would not be who we are. We are shaped by them, we cannot function without them.
