Here's an excerpt from a journal entry my best friend of 5 years wrote today: "what hasnt changed.....
1. cristina is still my best friend.
Four long years....and soo much shit that we've gone through. Its pretty amazing how much two people can care for eachother. I know she will be great in life and Im excited to see where we end up. She'll be in New York City finishing medical school and possibly getting her big break in her singing career....and I'll be somewhere near the ocean. Ah where its warm. And where I can learn to surf or god knows what. Maybe I'll figure out what I want to do in life. Shit I hope so."
(I'm cristina, btw)
To which I responded:
"You WILL figure yourself out, and what you're going to do with your life. I already consider myself a success...having someone like you in my life for the past 5 years--I must be doing something right.
We've seen eachother at our worst and at our best, and we still care about eachother just as much as we did back then. And that's amazing. More amazing than I'm sure either of us can fathom right now.
I was thinking about that the other day, and here's my thought...
In 3 years, I might be finishing up nursing school, working in a hospital, or even be de-worming orphans in Somalia. But none of that really matters to me at all unless I still have you by my side.
That's what matters. :)"
I consider myself really lucky to have him.
