What is it about hearing the voices of your closest friends that makes your heart smile? Yesterday I had my annual cookie baking party. This was a tradition I stated with my friends many years ago. We all get together and spend the day making cookies and just talking.
This year was different though. We had more stories to share since most of us hadn’t seen each other since over the summer. It was a great opportunity to just get together and listen to what we all had to say about our college adventures.
I enjoyed just being with my friends and hearing their voices. These girls had been my closest friends in high school and it’s sad to realize how different our lives have become since we all took separate paths. We all go to different schools, some in a different state. But still, it is opportunities like these that we need to come back and reaffirm our friendships.
So… when was the last time you talked to your best friends? What did you talk about?
First of all, how come I wasnt given any cookies.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I think it is really cool that you guys have cookie baking night, and even in college you still have it. It shows that you and your friends from high school really appreciate each other and make a real effort to stay friends. I think that is what true friendship is all about. You are very lucky.
Our biggest fear is being alone, but inside we know we can only trust ourselves. A friend is an extension of us that we create in someone because we can see similar aspects in them. We trust them because we can relate to them and they trust us for the same reason. There is an "unspoken" law that has to do with friendship. "You have my back, I'll have yours." It's a mutual feeling of security that we yearn to have.The want for brotherhood, or sisterhood in your case, is one of our strongest instincts. From hunter-gatherer societies to College Fraternities, friendship is a bond that when guarded safely can withstand the test of time longer than any chemical bond scientists could create.
