True caring.

For the past week or so, I felt a distance with my friend. We go to college together, but unlike last year, we live in different halls. It could feel like we were on opposite ends of the world.

Sometimes just that is enough for a friendship to weaken once in a while. We just weren't as close. Sure, I had lunch with her at least twice a week, but something just wasn't the same. I figured it was done, we weren't really friends anymore. We didn't talk much, and when we did our conversation was a bit listless. I missed her, a lot.

Then it was the weekend, she was going home to be with her boyfriend. I hate to say it, but sometime I think it's her boyfriend that caused us to be distant. The fact that even when we were hanging out, they'd be texting and he would call her, just minor distractions. It happens though, friends move on to better things. IE, her boyfriend.

And then... I got the text. She wanted to let me know that she'd been in an accident. She was "okay" but they were keeping her in ICU overnight and she had a broken wrist. I was so upset, and I had wanted to be there for her. It made me realize that just because we may not talk as much as we used to, or hang out as much it didn't mean we weren't friends. Sure, she still has her boyfriend, but that doesn't take away a friendship that once stood. But I will always care.




Get better soon, K. We miss you. <3
