i fight with myself a lot over trying to to focus too much on what's lacking in life. i think it is important to appreciate what you have and be grateful for it. And i'm grateful for many things in my life. i have a decent paying job that i enjoy for the most part, a partner who i love, a supportive family, a place to live, sweet dog, etc. But i'm finding that the thing i'm missing most right now in my life is the daily presence of a best friend.
i don't really like the term "best friend" because i have a whole group of what can be called my best friends. That one person who, for a period of time, i was connected with in real time on a daily basis. In high school, my best friend was Tanya. In college, Jennifer. After college, Danielle. Then Jason. Then Charles. i'm still friends with all of them and do consider them all to be my best friends.
What i'm lacking right now is the daily absence of someone objective in my life. Someone to bounce ideas off of or tell my feelings to. i realize now how important having someone like that is. So, if you have it in your life right now, cherish it. There are people that i'm in contact with every day, mostly via text or Facebook, but that's not nearly the same thing. And while those mediums are great, it's just not quite the same thing. Sometimes when things get to be too much, it would be nice to have someone to talk to and see and tell things to. Maybe soon.
And don't get me wrong...i have wonderful friends all over the place...i just don't see them on a regular basis, which is partly my own fault. It's one thing i need to make some changes to and soon if i'm going to survive life and not go crazy!
