Spyret's Blog

The blog gained crazy traction overnight! Pretty cool, huh? Thanks to everyone on Tumblr for tuning in. Love you :]

Howdy! As of yesterday, I did redownload My PlayHome. There were a few new things I noticed… the parking garage has new cars you can just STEAL. And take for yourself. Awesome! Also, there’s a brand new gas station at the market. Awesome! And, girls and boys can now mix clothes. Boys can wear the little skirts and girls can wear the soccer shirts. Awesome! How progressive! How relevant! How new! Buy it! I’m not sponsored, but I’d love to be.

On another note, the note I actually want to get to today… July 3rd, this day, is my friend Andrew’s birthday. He turned 20. I’ve been to all his parties since we met in middle school, and he was probably one of a handful who never bullied me. However, this one felt a little bittersweet. He and I went to different universities, for different things, and we haven’t talked much since last August, when we sat on his porch and talked about how scared we were to grow up. But, I helped his mom set up the party, hugged him when he got there, shared old inside jokes, and we were in the swing of things like nothing ever happened. Like neither of us grew up and moved on.

I think I flock to people who make me laugh, and I always manage to surprise myself with how relaxed I feel around Andrew. He’s one of my oldest friends, and I think we’d do pretty much anything for each other. He drove me back to his house after the party, and we sang Shrek really loud out the window. The song that goes, and then I saw her face!! Now I’m a believer!! Not a trace!! Of doubt in my mind!! I’m in love oooooooooooooo I’m a believer I couldn’t leave her if I tried

Anyway, my point is, I didn’t realize how much the both of us had changed and grown, but the funniest part was, we were just the same to each other. I’m glad we’re still cool. It was good to be reminded that, no matter how fast the world around you changes, time moves the same for the people in your life. One day we’re going to look back and realized we changed with each other, and we didn’t look at our faces and not recognize us. It’s comforting, because sometimes I feel like I have changed too much, for better or worse, but the people that love me see me as who I always have been.

This one might be short, so I’ll give it to you short. You will find a lot of friends in your life. Some of them will stay and some will go, and that’s just how life works. You can’t dwell on it if your paths cross and uncross. But the good people stay through thick and thin, through stretches of silence and week-long sleepovers, through knowing you before and after a rough time, through choosing to be your roommate in college and sadly deciding to go your separate ways. And, in some cases, even if you never meet face-to-face, you can find a traveling partner or a brother all the same. You will find a lot of friends in your life, and they will come in many different forms, but the good people (the right people, I should say) will always find you.

If they do find you, don’t let them go. And, if all goes well, they won’t want to.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have someone out there who will sing Shrek really loud out the window with you after a year of not talking.

Until next time! ❤
