can you remember the last time you watched a movie, listened to a song, heard something; really heard something, that someone was telling you - and thought, when have i ever felt like this before?
the last time this happened to me was last night and i was sitting in a 24-hour Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver. i was eating soup - you know the kind, and i was telling someone very close to me about my weekend. now when i say very close i mean close like family and we were sitting across the table from each other. my weekend was spent in Kelowna with who i now realize is my longest-known friend from childhood with whom i still keep in contact. we had a relaxing weekend of couch hopping-joint passing-guitar strumming. we didn't do a whole lot of anything but we did the most important thing which was catching up on two years prior. lucky for us there was no arguing about where to go; what to do; how to think. lucky for us, our friendship proved that time and distance means nothing compared to Disney memories and adolescent laughs. when have you felt like this before? people they enter our lives at such random times that we almost try and pressure ourselves into creating a relationship with them even if we know far too little yet. it's the red hair or the neck tattoo or the way they turned to look at you; seconds after your head just said, hello cutie, you've got to wonder. we want relationships. people need people they always will. so people seek out relationships wherever they go in hopes of discovering a magical passage to friendship. if you're out there searching, please let me know where you end up.
