I've learned that some of the best friends you carry through life come from the weirdest places. Like some of my best friends now I could swear that a couple of years ago I would have never even wanted to meet them.
Ever had a friend you met in kindergarten that you still know now? Have a friend you met last week and think that person will be your best friend?
Take, for example, my friend Jack. Jack and I met when he rushed to join the fraternity I'm apart of. We didn't like each other much at first, but after a month we literally know everything about each other. It's scary but if I wasn't apart of a Greek organization, I would have never met him.
Another example is my friend Christine. We went to the same high school for four years and didn't meet until college all because of Greek life. If I never joined I would have never even knew she attended the same school as me.
The point of this article is that I personally have learned many people don't make it. I'm not old, I'm still in college. However, as my life has gone on, I have left so many people I've known in the dust. Some honestly not on purpose. The only reason I don't talk to them is because we grew apart and went our separate ways.
I know that some of my friends now I won't talk to later on in my life, but I feel like maybe some will. It's a part of growing up. It sometimes needs to happen to get further in life and not be feeling held back. It makes me think about all of you out there. How many friends did you leave behind? How many people did you know that just didn't get to the level you did? Did you lose out on some of the best friendships anyone can ask for because you felt they weren't needed?
There's so many questions. This article isn't long, it's just something small I wanted to share about something I personally have come across.
I think if there is a lesson for all of this. It would be that no matter what friends you have, live in the moment and hang out with them. Become better friends and maybe you'll form an unbreakable chain. If you don't have many friends, go get more. Live life and get more friends because sometimes things are more fun when you have people by your side.
Friends truly do come from the weirdest of places.
