Kat dropped by this weekend and it was lovely. There is absolutely nothing like an old friend. Lately, I’ve been busy trying to find new girlfriends here in Sherwood and I forgot the comfort of talking to someone who knows you inside out.<\/p>\n
First, when an old friend comes over, you don’t have to clean your house. Or even comb your hair or make sure your outfit matches. All this is irrelevant as you have seen eachother at your worst and haven’t been scared off.<\/p>\n
Second, you don’t have to fill in the back story. Conversations go like this…. “remember X? Well, here’s the latest….” You can jump right to the good stuff without trying to explain who is who and what happened when. It means converstation just flows right along and you can truely speak your mind.<\/p>\n
Finally, you don’t have to worry about offending. You know you old friend’s likes and dislikes. If they are politically active or religous. You don’t have to hesitantly put forfth your views on the world, worried you might stick your foot in it. Because lets face it, the main requirement for a friendship that stands the test of time is the ability to forgive and forget.<\/p>\n
While I’m enjoying making new friends, there truely is something golden about the old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
