You have some, you loose some

I still keep in touch with some friends from 1th grade but it seems like the older I get the harder it is to keep friendships. 

For the last few months I've been think a lot about what sorts of friends that I have, and the kinds that I'd like to keep.  I've meet so many people this past year that I like to hang out with, but I know that I'll never talk to them again after we all leave for the US. And to be completely honest, I don't know if I want to keep in touch with some of these people. It's not like we know each other that well, and we don't have all that much in common either. It seems like - to me - that the only reason we are "friends" is because we go to the same school, live copse to each other and hang out in the same places. If we had meet at the same time, but under different circumstances I really don't think we'd ever hit it off.
On the other hand, I've met some people that has helped me see thing in a different light. They have given me new perspectives on things. I've been exposed to different culturural aspects of my own country, and I find it very interesting that it is so different considering this country really isn't that big.

but then there are the friends that you love and cherish 

we all have them, or a least one of them. I know I do, and I can't imagine life without them! These are the people you go to with everything, you tell them your dark little secrets. I went on vacation with one of mine and I have never had so much fun! Some I've know for 15 years and other 5 years, but I love and care for them equally. They have kept me sane in times of struggle and confusion.

I hope you have a "person" in your life too.

Until next time, Love CJ
