And there it was..the internet.

For so long, for longer than I can possibly imagine, I was left keeping my thoughts to myself. And yeah, blogs have been around forever, but I never quite bought into the whole premise of releasing your most intimate thoughts for the world to read. But something happened tonight. I hung out, had dinner, drinks and went to a movie with an ex-girlfriend; my best ex-girlfriend to date. It got me thinking, why do we all choose a hermit lifestyle when choosing to date your best friend? I dated my best friend, it ended terribly, and there we were acting like nothing ever happened. Completely innocent again, like it were 2005 all over again.

Now don't get me wrong, it took a long, LONG time for this night to happen, but now that it has..it just makes me wonder: "what's really at risk in life?" Are you afraid to risk a friendship? A relationship? I had a brand new experience tonight and it's completely put those pitiful cliches to rest: "I wish we could be together, but I don't want to ruin our friendship." It's a complete lie. It's almost like how people say "if it's meant to be, then it will happen." Well, if a friendship is meant to persist, then it will. Somehow, someway, if your friendship was really as good as it seemed, it will come back. And without missing a beat, you'll be enjoying each other's company again, with completely different mindsets, but entirely identical intentions.

Tonight was great, I missed you, I missed my friend, I missed my BEST friend.
