When I was younger all the kids in my neighborhood would play together and hang out and we were friends. It didn't matter that some of us were eight and then others were in high school, we just liked playing together.
I feel like this is something that I've lost over time. I know it's something that has slowly been disappearing because the people I used to play with were no longer there to hang out with. They were going off to college, or moving away or they were changing and not in a good way. I mean one of them has a baby now and they were someone I used to always play with.
Maybe it's because we're getting older and maturing and the games we used to play aren't "cool" anymore but sometime I just wish we could go back to when it didn't matter if we were years apart, we could still be friends and have fun without it being weird.
I'm thankful for the times I had with these friends and I hope that kids can still have these sort of friendships because it has shaped me into the person I am today and it has shown me who I want to be and who I don't want to be. I never realized what some of these people were going through when I was younger and I realize that there was a reason for that and I also realize that the times that they were over at my house they weren't always because they were looking for someone to play with.
So, maybe we didn't stay best friends, but what I do have to say is that they are people I will never forget and they will always have a special place in my heart because they mean something to me. They became a pat of our family and will always be a part of it, no matter how long we may go without seeing them. And no matter what they choices they make.
Friends are family you get to choose and my friends, no matter what, I don't forget.
Love,
Natalie
