My Wish

Why can't all the awesome people in the world live in one place. I've got friends all over the United States and in another country and I have recently been reminded (through facebook, actually) that I have lost touch with some awesome people. Take for instance my best friend growing up, Tiffany. I found her on facebook and I wasn't sure how she was gonna respond to hearing from me again (I hadn't talked to her in almost six years and things ended kind of awkwardly), but we've been messaging back and forth on facebook and she said "i hope you're doing wonderful. i miss you. you were my first friend. i learned what a friend was by your example. thank you for meaning so much to me." As I read this I thought about our friendship growing up. She was definitely my first friend too and I can't believe that I let myself not keep in touch with her. I mean, obviously it's really hard to keep a close friendship going when you don't see each other, but I hadn't even said a word to her in six years. It's just sad that it's so hard to keep up with people. I also messaged Brandon Hasty (from Mission Merge in Birmingham) yesterday. When I got on today he had sent me one back and it's cool to be able to talk to him too. I hate that I have friends all over the place that I don't get to see. I wish I could just build a city where all my friends and family could live and we would all be able to hang out as much as we wanted. I realize this won't work (duh!) because if everyone had this type of city, then everyone's city would have to overlap and we'd end up just like we are now. But hey, it's just a wish.
