“Because I knew you…”

The relationships that we build throughout our lives never cease to amaze me. We all have a collective group that we attract and move towards. As you get to know the person, you either grow together or apart. Every now and again, you find someone that moves to the far end of your spectrum when you expect them to stay more close to center or in the other direction.

I have a friend that I like to hang out with. That’s all we do, just get together when we can and kick it. Mostly, we like to go dancing. Sometimes we don’t have the time- me more than her. But she still manages to send a message to see how things are going. As for me? When I’m focused on something, I usually tune out the rest of the world- for better or worse. (Worse.)It’s always nice to get a message every now and again from her.

Last week, she pulled me out of my usual routine for dinner and tea. The tea was to get me to relax and go to sleep. She knows me pretty well. It was an enjoyable night out. Great food; great tea; and, always, great company.

“I have been changed… for good.”
