Friends: Part I
What a perfect day for thoughts. I am sitting at home, alone, sick, and it is overcast outside as it usually is in these parts. Many times I have written about the great connection between people, and most times it has been from the perspective of people as a genaral unit. I would like to take a moment to get my thoughts down on friendships. Specifically, this triad that I have right now.
I have never really had friends. I have never had real friends (with the exception of one that lives in Serbia, and my friend who thinks I’m a douche). That is, I have never had real, constant friends until this year. It is a rather interesting series of events that caused this new friendship to bud, but I do not regret it.
A few months ago, I would have considered my best male friend to be the male party from my previous post. We would always eat lunch together, and we always had each other’s backs. He was, and is to this day, a good guy, and I would never speak a word against him. I respect him for who he is, but we have always had our differences. Our way of thinking is drastically different, and for this reason, it is very hard to continue a friendship in which we both have different views on life.
It is unfortunate - the way in which we stopped being friends. I started dating his “ex”. And then, after a load of childish drama (which also included my ex), we stopped talking. I do regret the way in which this all happened, but out of it I have gained two great people. The girl I am with is wonderful, and the third party of our triad is a fantastic addition.
Now, about the triad. We went to the beach a few weeks back. There, we sort of planned our own route and time. We had one day, but we started early and came home late, so it was plenty of time. I feel close to these two guys, more than I have ever before, and I am thankful for it. Why is that though? I am getting hazy again… Perhaps I will finish this post later.
