Friendship is funny.
I am pleased to say I am someone with many friends but rather then a blog ode to friendship I want to consider the journey friendship takes, from stranger to loved one.
In my life I've had many opputunities to make different and wonderful friendships; School, College, Work, and Uni, to name the most prominant occasions. Sometimes its obvious who will become a friend and sometimes it's those obvious friendships that end up being distant memories for any number of reasons.
I find it interesting to muse on how I first met some people, sometimes I knew people for many years before they came friends, sometimes I didn't even like them. Andy, one of my best friends for instance I disliked to begin with. Sid, and Caolan, both went to the same Junior school as me, and every school there after, but it is only the recent years, since late secondary and college, that we've properly become good wholesum chums who I know and love now.
On the contrary to this some people I have taken instant likings too have turned out to be people I don't particually like, or want to talk to, in the long run.
I suppose it just means that everyone out there has possible potential to be a friend and that some friendships take long winding journeys, while others are a little bit more simple then that. Another thought is that some friendships just don't last, which is just the way things go. I look back on who I would say were my best friends in the old years and how we've grown appart and I don't regret it, at all, and the fact we're different people with different interests was inevitable. We should cherish the time we spent with our friends.
If you're reading this from Facebook then theres a chance we have atleast a few cherished memories. We should reminisce about them sometime!
