Unbreakable

Lois Wyse once said, ~A good friend is a connection to life-a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.~ If you think about it, the connection each of us have with one's friends oftentimes can't be described with just mere words. Essentially, there is an unseen bond in which you clique with someone that a friendship is formed either in an instant or gradually. It's these same friends who keep life interesting, exciting, and laughable to where its never dull being around him, her, or them. Without a doubt, each one of us have great memories shared with certain friends and it's the connection with a particular moment in time with him, her, or them that will always be considered special.

When it comes to our friends, past or present, something will inevitably connect him, her, or them to you. Though the connection may be different with each person individually you still keep that balance of friendship level as can be so as to not disturb the harmonious flow that's been established in one's inner circle. Yet, you can't help but hang out more with a particular number of one's inner circle, which doesn't necessarily mean you don't enjoy their company. Its due in part to the length of time one has known the person or persons, as well as, interests that may be shared with you. Let me ask you this question, who in your inner circle have you known the longest and how well does he, she, or they know you?

Essentially, there are moments in one's past with a particular friend or friends that either a secret or promise is shared. In other words, a pact that is made between friends to where a certain situation is kept under wraps that only some, most, or all know and whether or not that particular secret will be tight lipped depends on how strong the friendship is. OR its a pact where friends, who may have gone their separate ways, come together to fulfill a promise that was made in the past. For it’s a pact in which an agreement sealed it tight such as a pinky swear, spit handshake, a speech, or whatever the case may be for you and your inner circle past or present.

In any case, there comes a point where a friendship that was long forgotten in the past surprisingly steps back into the present. What do I mean? With this being an age of an updated and ever growing technological age we can find/stumble on friends that one grew out of touch with back in the day. With such websites as Myspace, Friendster, and classmates.com, a person can find old friends if he, she, or they are on there. Personally speaking, I've kept in contact with a few of my friends who I went to school with overseas. For they were and still are family being that it was a military base and the funny thing is that you will meet them again to where you unknowingly find yourself working with that person or persons.

In retrospect, the faces may change but the spirit of friendship is never lost as we all connect with people on a semi-daily basis. Whether it's in person or online in websites such as Myspace and Friendster, you form an initial bond even though you may not know him, her, or them personally. In this totally insane world, the connection we have with our totally insane friends who, in some aspect, keep us sane shows that no matter what comes between a friendship that breaks it apart something happens to bring it back together. In the end, the road of life will always connect us to friends in the past and present to where they will someday meet in the future because in the end, that unseen bond friends share with each other is truly unbreakable.
