I miss my friends...

Well, the title says it all. I miss my friends! I am in the unfortunate situation where most of my closest friends live nowhere near me. This week I have been missing easy conversation, void of small talk and awkward lulls. I’m craving some quality time with deep talks and laughter at jokes and nuances that developed years ago and continue to be funny.

In my experience it's just not as easy to develop close friendships after college. It’s easy to find people to hang out with and pass the time with, but for me its way harder to get past the exterior in these friendships.  I think the day in day out interaction you have with friends in high school and college escalates the bonding process and sometimes I wonder if that’s possible to achieve as an adult.  Or maybe my friends I made in my first 22 years of my life are just cooler than everyone else. 

I have unusual humor and am ridiculously weird underneath my conventional exterior.  I am lucky to have a whole slew of friends who appreciate it, celebrate it and join in on that.  I just wish they lived closer!

My high school girls- people tend to give me weird looks when I tell them that I’m still best friends with people from high school. It’s rare, but I love it.
