This Thanksgiving long weekend has been good vibes all around, and this year I am especially thankful for my friends. They make me a better person and they make the world a better place to be.
Cheers to hearty dinners and all the warm fuzzy feelings our precious friends and loved ones give to us.
Today’s prompt: Oil, Meet Water
Of the people who are close to you, who is the person most unlike you? What makes it possible for you to get along?
One of my closest friends gets called a unicorn. She doesn’t like taking photos, going on social media, and she is very hard to get in touch with because she is the type of person to actually leave home without taking her phone with her. I, on the other hand, take many photos and use many social media platforms. As for my phone, it is almost an extension of my body.
She has been my oldest friend and our friendship has surpassed eleven years so far. There are a lot of reasons why we get along, but if I were to pinpoint 3 reasons I would say this:
My best friend, Hyesun, turned 20 at the end of October.
I first met her in sixth grade when I entered middle school. Now 10 years later, she is my oldest and most precious friend I have. This means we have known each other for half of our lives. I think that is amazing. Together we struggled through the confusion of adolescence, insecure high school days, transfers and distance, and the stress of University in discovering ‘our futures’. We also celebrated inside jokes, secrets, birthdays, graduations, and beautiful memories. With our 10 year anniversary, I thought a lot about my friendship with her. At the end of my reflection, I came to the conclusion that the relationship she and I share is a little different from my friendships with others.
I think that’s just how it is when you are so close with someone for so long. There are things that just fall into place without you even realizing it.
It’s been awhile since your nineteenth birthday passed this year, and I am regretful to say that I am only writing this to you now.
We have known each other since sixth grade, which is almost eight or nine years ago. And little by little we have grown up and are still continuing to grow as people. I don’t think we’ve really realized how much things have changed since when we first met. And I don’t think we realize how much we have changed individually as well. But as I reminisce, I begin to see more and more the important of your existence in my life and how much I treasure our friendship.
As a child I believed that a person can have a lot of best friends…
Sincerely, Loewe
