Reconnection

     When we left North Carolina, I never thought that I would have met my best friend or most of the people in my life that made feel like I could be me. Leaving North Carolina was the hardest thing for me to do and since then I've changed a lot. It's to be expected when you grow up. I always told myself though that I would never  lose touch with my best friend, Chrissy.
 
     While life has definitely been a interesting turn of events after high school, one thing that has surprised me is the messages I told myself while I was in high school. I told myself back then that I wouldn't lose touch with Chrissy yet I did. Yes, she is a Facebook friend but it wasn't the same. See, her and I never fought about anything and to this day we still don't fight. We agree on everything and we share the same interests and hobbies, well at least back then we did. With the separation of time, we have changed. She's in college, and I'm a working teen trying to make it happen and stay afloat with my fiancé. Life's amazing ain't it?


     After graduating high school, I figured that I was going to take a trip down there to see her. I haven't see her in more than 4 years give or take. I really can't remember everything. That obviously didn't happen, and so now I want to see her this year. Take a road trip down there and see how my best friend is doing.. see all my other friends as well but mainly her.


      It all started with a message on Facebook to text me, and yesterday we had a conversation while I was at work. It made my day go faster and made me realize how very much important she is to my story, to my life. So I can't wait to see her, and see how she's been doing. To show her the workings of the book we wanted to write together just before I moved, and to reconnect with my best friend.
