Jan. 11th, 2006 01:51 amThinking about absent friends, and those who are no longer friends.
I heard a theory once, can't remember from who, about how groups of souls tend to circle around each other from life to life. I'm pretty sure that theory applies to most of the friends I've had since junior high school. It's the only way I can think of to explain why I became friends with Erin, because I remember first seeing her and thinking unkind thoughts (I was a stuck up little bitch in 7th grade), and then wondering later how on earth we became friends. To this day, I cannot remember how we became friends, or how I became friends with Becky. Two of my closest friends, and all I can remember is my first impressions of them. My first impressions usually tend to be right, but those two definitely proved them wrong. In other cases (and friends) I should have listened to those impressions instead of forging ahead. But I guess that's a lesson that everyone must learn.
I remember feeling like a part of me had been cut off when Erin went off to college and I stayed behind. And I remember feeling Becky's pain like it was my own when she dumped her first boyfriend, and the first and hopefully only time, that her current boyfriend dumped her...by email. I still haven't quite forgiven him for that one.
Yeah, souls circle around one another. And sometimes jump the boat so they won't get left behind when another is ready to be reborn. ;) Sound familiar Becky?
heh....the cynic is waxing romantic and everything else. who woulda thunk it? :)
