I like to read this quote every once in awhile because it makes me think about all the wonderful people, "true friends", that have left footprints in my life, that have been valuable sounding boards, that have been a source of inspiration, that have taken adventures with me, that have made me look at myself in the mirror, that have helped me to evolve, that know me inside and out and celebrate me, that have in short, shaped me into the person that i am today.
I do not speak with many of my true friends every day or every month and some i have not spoken with in over a year, but yet they are my true friends. They are the kind of friendships that do not change despite the passing of time and living long distances apart. They are the kind of people who you can see or talk to after a long period of time and pick-up right where you left off. They are easy to be with because they are apart of you. When you see them it feels like going home i suspect because in part, they helped construct you and you them.
It also makes me realize how many "friends" we have that are really just acquaintances and while acquaintances are nice things to have, they do not leave lasting imprints. They come and they go. They ebb and they flow. They wax and then wane...
