I guess you could say I'm a lucky person because I don't have a person, I have people. The term person comes from "Grey's Anatomy" and it means that one person you go to for everything.

There are people that have specific friend groups and I always thought I needed that. Recently I learned it is okay to have different friends and we all do not have to belong to the same group.

Do I have friends that I see more than others? Of course, I do, but that doesn't mean I love them anymore or less. Friendships are not who you have known the longest, but who has been there for you through the good and bad.

Have I lost friends over the years? Yes, but who hasn't. We all grow and drift apart whether it's because you have different interests, or simply just lost touch. Just because I am not friends with all the same people does not mean they are not important to me. They still are important because they helped me grown into the person I am today.

The people I have in my life right now might not be in my life forever, and that is okay. All that matters is that they are here now.

As a commuter, I have friends from my college, but I'm still close with my friends in town. I became close to people from high school before I started college and I am extremely thankful because they go to school locally.

Some of my friends went away to college, but this doesn't mean are no longer friends. We don't see each other every day or talk everyday, but I know if I need them, they will always be there for me. Then I have my coworkers who aren't even my coworkers anymore because were all so close.

I made such incredible friends this past year, but I can't forget about my friends who have been through everything with me. All my friends have been there for me in one way or another and I am grateful for them. The support I receive from my friends is overwhelming, I appreciate it so much. My friends are not just my friends. They are my extended family.
