never thought i'd say this

I never actually thought I would say this, but I really REALLY enjoy this year's freshman, the class of 2012. They are honestly the best group of people I've met, some of the few who actually have real lives, who actually speak wisely, and speak nothing but the truth. And they're loyal and willing to accept others, willing to work at what they truly believe in, willing to make enemies, right there, right then, to those who betray them. Maybe its a bell curve, maybe its something that just changes from year to year, but this is definitely a class. A class, i might add, made of people.

Here's what one of them said during practice @ Suzanne park today as the middle-school students exited from their classes...
"Look at them, those little kids, they have no idea about the world they're about to face. Look at them, aww, two of them holding hands and hugging, look. They know nothing about love, nothing about what love truly means, its just words to them, just to make themselves popular, just to amuse themselves". Ouch. That was, wow, i just stood there, amazed at how they could say such things, but then I thought about it, whats a relationship to some, whats a relationship to others, there's no set standard, its all open to interpretation...

whats a true relationship. being in one myself, I really can't answer that question. But I know that the distance is something that she and I both need, the distance to keep us apart until we meet again, its something we've both come to love and enjoy. I think the distance is what keeps us alive, like people, not facing those problems that others face, not facing the pain, the tears like everyone else. Away from each other, we miss each other, we talk, but I guess, we're much too busy to dwell on things that really don't matter in life. And yes, you'll ask..why get together if each other don't matter in life..here's the answer: "If things were meant to be, we shouldn't have to argue, we shouldn't have to fight, we shouldn't doubt our words, and so far we haven't. Life's too beautiful to waste, but a relationship between a guy/girl, isn't the world, in fact its not even part of the world. Friends are forever and therefore come first." I guess that's why we don't argue. We understand friends come first in our lives, and we schedule ourselves around each other's friends.

We've discussed the future, we know whats gonna happen after graduation, and well, it just happens. There's nothing you can do about it, friends will separate, friends will go different ways, and we shall part, going to two different schools with two different majors. That's something I'm sure of. But we try to enjoy life and make the best of it while we can.

But even if we don't go to the same college, we know that we'll always be
friends forever.
