the more you know

When a friend that you've known for a long time changes their behavior, you figure it out and you ask them. But when you're lost in your own world you only figure out later, or when it's too late and then you feel like an ass.

One of my best friends from college had kept asking me to hang out and my schedule couldn't get him in. I didn't think about it because I figured sooner or later that we would hang out. Truthfully, I wasn't in the mood to hang out, I was waiting for a time where I knew it would be something cool or something more meaningful. Nothing against him. We always do the same stuff and it just doesn't appeal to me like it used to.

Well, today he told me he's got a good shot at the opportunity he's been looking at for a while in London. Suddenly, it started to come together for me; his drunken rant on his birthday about our friendship and his wanting to do more stuff together...

He'll probably be gone in June/July. I wish he could stay and do what he's doing here but he needs this more than anybody. He's still a kid. After knowing each other for almost 8 years, GOD love the guy, he hasn't changed much. He needs to go explore and grow. And hopefully I'll be there to see that growth...
