dont know when ill be back again...actually ill be back on monday night. Flying to nyc this weekend to see lover! and to catch up with a few other new yorkers that i haven't seen in ages, and by ages i mean YEARS. which brings me to my next point. friends are like really good books. we meet people and books the exact same way. you look over and if the cover seems interesting enough you walk over for a closer look. or maybe you get past all that awkwardness casue your friend introduces you and so you already know this new book is going to be at least not terrible since your friend liked it and you trust your friend.
then maybe you'll read the back cover and get a general gist of what this books all about and if THAT seems intriguing enough you'll open the book and start reading. Now everyone reads books differently. i know some people that like to steadily read a book a chapter a day til the whole thing gets read. some people like to go to the end, figure out what thats all about and then read the beginning. and then theres folks like me who will read the book until i feel like putting it down and that a judgement for me on how good that book is. Same way when I talk to people. If the first minute seems interesting enough I'll continue that conversation until it stops. And the good friends, not just the filler friends that you invite to parties to make yourself seem cool, but the real ones that you really enjoy, the conversation never really ends. you just love talking/being with them so much that you decide that although you have to go eat, sleep, and work you would still like to come back to this book and pick up right where you left off because the material is just so darn stimulating.
But alas, people move away, books get put in a box somewhere and all but forgotten about. and from time to time something will trigger your memory and you'll say hey i remember reading a book like this once and it was awesome, i wonder whatever happened to it? now most of the time these thoughts will fade as soon as theyre formed until the next time you see that back or someone talks about it then you'll jump in the convo with nothing but great things to say about it. But sometimes, sometimes you just can't get that darn book out of your head and you keep wondering where the hell did it go..SERIOUSLY!
and then you'll go digging through the boxes of books (or your contacts list) and find this oldie but goodie that you havent seen in a while and immediately a smile spreads across your face. and you think "you know its been so many years since ive read this book i dont even remember exactly what happens. i know the general plot line, and the few crucial details that stuck in my mind but i just dont remember its entirety." and so you open the book and start reading and you remember all the reasons why you liked it in the first place. the flow of the words, the personality of the story that just leaps off the page, the feeling you get as you continue to turn the pages. and before you know it you're off again on this fantastic adventure. when you finally finish and you put the book down you realize that although the book is the same, the journey this time was different. and you will continue to discover that everytime you read this book the journey will be a little different. because you're different and so you pick up on things from this book that you wouldn't have deemed significant or relative before.
Good friends get mentioned in passing conversations and are thought of from time to time and if they're in the area you say hi and you'll catch up and its all hunky dory. Best friends are the ones that you can pick up years later and start yet another wondrous adventure when you will learn new things about them that you didn't notice before because you're different now and so you relate to different aspects of their personality. and as corny as it sounds, great friends (no matter how far away or how long its been) never get old. and the absolute best thing about a best friend is that everytime you see them....read them...you get to fall in love all over again. Besties you know who you are and I truly believe that karma has blessed me in letting me have not one, but so many of you in my life. can't wait til our next adventure even if its years from now, cause i know itll be just as fabulous as the first time. <3
