Long Lost Close Friend

So tonight, I talked to one of my closest friends from back in the days, Michelle . I don't know if she still considers me close but I still consider her one of my good friends . For the past year or so, we havn't really been able to talk to each other a lot as much as we did back then . I guess we both just got busy with our own things (well knowin' SHE's always busy doin' school/cheer stuff haha) .

We had a pretty decent conversation tonight . Just catchin' up and shit . Wow, after talkin', felt like nothin' really changed . Well, I don't really think anything has changed but the fact we talk less . I swear everytime I see this girl when I go to Cali, we act like nothin' has changed . But yeah, talkin' to her brought back some memories . . some of the best memories of my teen years .

I remember meetin' Michelle either during snack or lunch back at my old high school (CV/Crescenta Valley) . I was actually trying to get at her friend Samantha (she turned out to be really cool too) who happened to be new student at school hahaha but instead of talkin' to Samantha a lot, I ended up talkin' to Michelle a lot more . When I got to know her, damn she turned out to be one of the coolest people I've ever met . Michelle, to this day, is the ONLY girl I know who's never done me wrong in any way, shape or form, and was always there when I needed her; that's prolly why we got close .

I remember we'd eat lunch together and walk to the gas station together with our own little clique (me, her, Axton, Samantha, Christina, whoever else was there lol), go to the movies on weekends, play basketball after school (wow, bball brought us closer too lol), swimmin' at Samantha's during summer of 2006, and yeah helpin' each other out with problems and shit .

For a VERY long time, I considered Michelle my closest homegirl because she was the NICEST (to this day lol) girl I've ever met . The nicest thing she's probably done to me was make me a present before I moved to Las Vegas . She made me a scrapbook of our memories/friendship . That thing really meant/mean A LOT to me to this day . The thing is, she kept makin' time for me just so she can say her goodbyes and made sure I got her present before I left . And even after I moved, we still talked a lot; it's just these past years have been different .

Yeah, time changes and sometimes it doesn't let you stay close with certain people in your life . But then there's people, no matter what, your connection with them somehow doesn't change . I mean, you guys might not be as close . . but at the same time, nothin' is awkward between y'all .


HATE to crop this picture cuz this picture is such a CLASSIC back-in-the-day picture with 3 of my tightest 9th grade homies; to this day, I STILL don't know what I was doin' in this picture lmao look at me with my bald head hah what was I thinkin' lol and I don't know why I closed my eyes either lol
