“…Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” –Jeremiah 12:1
This past week I had an unexpected visit at my real house by some of my old friends since middle school. We had always been one of the tightest cliques but as we started growing each and every one of us went our separate ways. I myself chose masters commission, and I don’t regret it. But I’ve always wondered what had become of them. I really am horrible at communication, so I never kept close tabs on my friends of old, especially because I really thought they could not profit or add any value to me. After this unexpected visit I wondered what it was all about, I still don’t know why. I went on “My Space” and just wondered what they are up to. They all seem so happy, some starting their families, most of them finishing school, others having a great job. They all seem like they either have it together or they are doing what they always wanted to do, they’re having fun. I started having these thoughts about, “what would my life be if I would’ve just stayed in my old atmosphere?” envious thoughts telling myself, “look at them they seem so complete” I don’t know what it was, but I really had to take a survey of my life and see where I’m at. Not a lot of people have done what I’ve done, I’m still young and have experienced both sides of this world, and honestly why would I want to go back? Yes I miss my friends, because they were and are a big part of who I’ve become, but now I’ve found people who not only are friends but are OHANA, family. Because one thing I’ve learned, “In life there are no friends just family!” and so far my family is the main part of my life that has stuck with me through out everything, when I couldn’t believe they believed, when I couldn’t smile they smiled, when I couldn’t dream they dreamed. So I guess what I want to tell you all, my FAMILY is, THANK YOU! (sorry i can't make it out there as often, but you are all on my heart daily, LUV YALL)
