Bestfriend

In the last two years I have made and lost many good friends. Friends come and go. Six months ago I met someone who has become one of the best friends I have ever had. In one month he is moving across the country. I want to think that we will stay best friends, but I know that our friendship will change. My natural response to this situation is to hide from the facts. To shut him out now so as to not be any more hurt. But when I look back at the last two years I remember, I am stronger than I think I am. I will get through this too. Somehow, even though it hurts so much, and I feel like I will never move on, I know I will learn and grow because of it. Who I am today is, in part, because of him and because of our friendship. I will never lose that - I will always have him with me. The circumstances in my life do not dictate who I am. I make choices and deal with their consequences. When I am faced with circumstances outside of my control, I am still in control of my response. No matter what I do, and no matter what happens to me, I will keep learning, and I will keep getting stronger. Thank you, Aaron. For everything.
