Circle of Friends

With Aubrey in Wisconsin surrounded by friends I thought I would talk about friendship. I guess friendship is like a dart board. The outside ring is filled with acquaintances. These are the people that you would say hello to and shoot the shit with, but only surface level stuff. The next ring is for the people that you have shared some of you life journey with, you trust them but not completely. The next ring are people who have been through the good and bad times, and have your back if you ever need them. The bulls eye is for the people who hold your heart. These are the ones that would hold your hair back while you puke, cry with you when you're sad and cheer the hardest for you. The bulls eye people aka soul friends are there always. Even if you haven't seen them in six months the conversation and love continues like you never left each other. What is the formula for a soul friend? I'm not sure. I do know that people flow from one ring of friendship into another. Nothing is sadder than having someone you think should be in the bulls eye only to find out they will end up being in the outer ring, just an acquaintance. Yet on the flip side to have an acquaintance become a soul friend is a true treasure. I guess that friendship needs to ebb and flow. So I guess like everything in life we need to let go, don't get upset when a friend changes circles and just love each other.
