I know that you are out there…I can often feel your presence….you know that feeling that you get when you feel drawn to someone…..you guessed it……a friend….sometimes something even more. That special someone that you can hang out with….to just kick back and share a laugh…..and you can even tell your deepest of secrets too….your friend.
We all have friends…we make new ones every day…but it’s the friends that we’ve never met…that can make you feel a different way.
I have been lucky enough to have learned this through my blogging journey. Yes… it’s true…and I feel truly blessed.
I have “virtually” met and made friends with wonderful people from all over the world…the feeling is surreal. For some…it’s as if we’ve been friends forever. It’s a magical connection.
Have you ever just connected with someone that you’ve never met….just having that feeling….they were meant to be a part of your life? Yea….it’s just like that.
People….they come and go in our lives…for better…or for worse….to leave their mark and you for them..to learn a lesson…or to just simply touch your heart.
It doesn’t have to always be romantic you know…the special people that we meet along the way….but sometimes…..it just is…..and that is okay too. It is simply a way…of nature taking its course.
The friends that we’ve never met…they will arrive in our lives….at just the right time…because it is in the cards of life…when we least expect it.
To the friends, I’ve yet to meet…how exciting will that be….because for so many…what will be…will be….and for so many others…it will be what the other may need.
To the friends, I’ve yet to meet…I hope that I don’t disappoint…you see my mama taught me to be kind…compassionate…and above all caring. I hope that I can bring that to the table of our future friendship….because it’s who I am…and how I will always be.
But don’t you worry…I am by far perfect…and will never claim to be…but I will be there for you…to lend and ear….and give my opinion…if you want it anyway…but more importantly…I will be there.
To the classmates that I’ve reconnected with….but only across the “air-waves”…we share a connection that has lasted a lifetime and will continue to do so….even if we never connect face to face. How lucky are we…to be so blessed….and have our friendship come around….full circle.
To you…my friends…that I’ve never met. Don’t you fret….when the time is right…our lives will collide…it’s only a matter of time…and when it does…it may be brief…or it may even last for a long while…but no matter the length of time…it just will be.
What I have learned…as I live my life…is that allowing for disappointments to take over my world…well…it will only break my heart….so…I turn it around…and know that the timing in life…it what living is all about….so I live my life to the fullest…allowing the friends that I never met to enter my life….when it is supposed to be.
To the friends I’ve never met yet ….we will one day….you’ll see…don’t you even know….so live your life to the fullest…get lost in the moment of living but above all….take care of yourself….and allow for what may be.
To the friends, I’ve never met yet…..
you are all….already so special to me…but….just remember this…
until our paths finally cross…God-Speed to you from me.
