Late-night-nostalgia-refelection-post:

Thinking about it now, I think one of the highlights of my early high school life was that all of my closest friends and myself were all in one group together at the time. The picture in my background is actually one of the last photos taken of most of us, although not all of us, together. That was around grade 9/10 though so obviously naive me didn't know everything would change after that summer.

Some moved away and we never talked again; others of us had high school peer pressure change and destroy our relationships; and others simply learned more of who they really were and we all ended up drifting apart.

Either way, I still see most of them now and I'm also still pretty close with almost all of them! It just sucks that we don't all hang out in one group anymore.

That's fine with me though. It's affirming to know too though that I wasn't the only one who missed our summer usuals, and it was also affirming to know that some of them thanked me for being a friend and for always trying to keep up contact.

Now my closest friends are insane, famous dancers, or inspiring and humble leaders, or studious and hard workers at school and at work doing what they can for themselves and their families.

I'd have to say "thank You" to God for all of those good times (and bad as well!). I learned so much about myself and this life we go through walking with other people. The journey is truly a blessing.

Good night. :)

PS. Life of Pi is a good movie

EDIT: If that group hadn't broken up, I would have never met and gotten close to all the many friends that are in my life now. #pG
