Connections

In most cases we build relationships with people our entire lives. And, like everything, those relationships change, they grow, evolve, and decay, but above all they don't remain the same. I've recently reunited with a couple of really close friends I thought I'd lost for good. These friends helped me explore myself, find new experiences, and shape how I see the world. To a large degree it is because they were such a huge part of my life for so long that I am who I am today. Without them I would have not discovered the avenues with which I found the values I hold dear. I just thought that maybe there might be people out there who have lost touch with friends, family, or loved ones and think they aren't able to repair the bridge. I'm here to say that you can, and that that is a beautiful thing.
