Just the other day someone sent me this really interesting quote... it said, "Sometimes people run away, just to see if anyone cares enough to follow" and it really made me think about a lot of things. One of main reasons for coming to Harding four years ago was just for this reason. A lot of people back home said they were friends, but underneth it all most of them were just friends to the extent that they could get something out of the friendship. Over the years i've seen who really wanted to be friends and who just was acting it out.... at first it kind of hurt to realize this but when i thought about it for a while, it brought me joy to know that there are people out there that really do care.
True friends are hard to find and when you do find one take hold of them and never let them go. For true friends are like precious gems, they come around only once in a while, and are worth more than you can afford. True friends bring a joy and happiness to your life that can't be found anywhere else.
Sometimes i wonder what things will be like in another four years, once im gone from Harding. How many of my friends down here will i still stay in contact with? I hope that it would be all of them, but i know that it won't be very many. "We all know reality, don't mess with a dream, don't mess with a dream, man.... " This is another quote from an oldies movie i watched this summer, and i think it fits well here... i hope and pray and "dream" that everyone i meet will become a true friend and stay in contact for the rest of our lives, but reality sets in and we all realize that, things just dont happen like that.
