OUT FOR MARY’S 21ST!!!
So basically, I can’t wait until Friday.
I think I’m going to hang this above my bed this summer, so that as I lay there it can serve as a constant reminder…
This weekend I saw my dear, dear friend Matt Guthrie, for the first time since August 2009. Although we’ve skyped, facebook chatted, and texted, it’s been almost THREE YEARS since I’ve been able to hug him, and feel the comfort and warmth of his presence, and I realized how much I’ve missed it!
Matt is completely 100% different from all the other friends I have. He is unbelievably easy to talk to, and I feel completely at ease. When I’m with Matt I know that there is no judgement between us and that I can totally be myself. I talk with Matt about things I don’t tell my other friends, and I don’t feel uncomfortable, awkward, and I know he’ll give me honest advice.
I don’t even know how Matt and I became friends, thats one of the best parts… we had classes together and started to spend time together outside of school and just… clicked. We talked a lot freshman year of college and helped/talked each other through a lot of shit… I love knowing that I can always go to Matt.
Saying goodbye to Matt last night was really hard, for several reasons. I don’t know how long it will be until I see him again, I’m hoping it’s not another 3 years. Seeing and spending time with Matt put the friendships that I have at school in perspective- he’s one of the many high school friends that I would MUCH rather be around that people at school. He reminded me of the potential we see in each other, that I don’t always see in myself. Talking with Matt, I realized all the things that I used to talk and dream about doing, but haven’t done or plan to do. Matt was quick to remind me of what I can do and where I can go, and I think for a long time I haven’t been telling myself those things because I don’t like being out of my comfort zone.
I’m so happy for Matt, he’s going to school for something so meaningful and that he’s always dreamed of doing, and he’s working his ass off to do his best, and there’s something to say for that. He’s so happy, and I couldn’t be more excited for him, and the life that he’s built and continuing to create for himself, I know that he is going places- there’s not a doubt in my mind he’s going to do huge things.
I owe so much to Matt, and I hope that it doesn’t take an invitation to my wedding before we see each other again, because lets face it- that could be awhile.
Matt, if you’re reading- thank you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I love you so much and I hope we can always keep in touch… you mean so much to me, and I don’t know what I would do without you.
