comfort

We all have those special friends that we've known since we were babies. We know those people pretty well. But the people we always know REALLY well, as in inside out, what they're thinking, how they're going to react, what they want to say but are holding back, are those who were our friends through or early adolescent years. Those we know when our personalities were at the peak of their formation. I am lucky to still be in contact with, and very good friends, with so many of these.

Today i was out with four of my 'school friends' who i normally get to see usually amid a crowd of so many others. Today it was intimate, it was true. It was us talking about anything and everything. It is so cool how you don't see people everyday but you never feel like it's been so long. This comes from the familiarity and comfort you feel towards such friends.

There were five of us, each leading a completely different lifestyle. Each fitting in her own surroundings, but not in the surroundings of others. And we're all exactly perfect how we are.

When you're with such people, you are pretty much carefree. I never think twice before i say something. I know i won't be judged, and i will not judge. I know nothing i say will be repeated unfavorably. I don't have to give introductions so i wouldn't be misunderstood.
