Sometimes, we get so caught up in life that we forget to take a step back and look at where life is taking us and where we have been in the past. I can say with absolute certainty I wouldn't be where I am today without my girlfriends.
People say that after high school, you start to lose touch with your old friends and move on to make new friends. While I've made new friends in college, my high school friends will always have a special place in my heart. There's a special bond there. Maybe that bond stemmed from knowing one another for almost your entire childhood, or maybe it's because they were the ones who comforted you when you had your first heartbreak, your first fight with your parents, your first fallout with each other, and they were the ones who were always there to pick up the pieces and put them back together. I'm not saying there hasn't been heartbreaks and fights since arriving to college, but I do know that you just don't forget those sorts of things. People like that don't just walk out of your lives. You keep them around, whether that means skyping now and then or seeing each other a couple times a year, that bond never really goes away. Your friends are your friends, and they'll always be there for you, even if they can't physically be there.
I could not be more grateful for the friends I have today, old and new. I know that at the end of the day, no matter what, I'll always have someone to lean on and a shoulder to cry on.
