A couple of weeks ago, I was dropping one of my friends off in Brooklyn. As they’ll be moving upstate soon, her family moved out of their old home in Queens and are temporarily living with relatives.
Since we were passing through her old neighborhood, we decided to stop by her old home. She’d missed out on giving a final goodbye because of exams the week before. We grabbed coffee from Dunkin Donuts and parked in the driveway.
It’s amazing how much of a blessing it is to have good friends. For about a year now, I’ve been slowly trying to get back into the habit of spending time with friends while balancing it out with schoolwork. It has worked out for the most part. There’s just something about being around people who genuinely care about you. It’s got somewhat of a stress relieving effect.
Reminiscing about things that seem to have happened only yesterday is always nice. You look back at the little things and realize they had the most significant impact on your life.
