Old Friends

For the past couple months, I had been worrying that I would come home over summer break, excited to hang out with friends from home, only to find that I did not, in fact, have any friends anymore.
When I come home on weekends, I just sleep and catch up with the family and my dog, and the past few extendeds I haven't been home for various reasons. That is to say, I hadn't seen my friends for quite a while.
So when I took a break from eating easter candy and playing around on the computer long enough to call my friends to hang out, I was a bit worried. I saw myself feeling left out of discussions about local going-ons, or completely lost by inside jokes I was no longer a part of.

But this was not the case. We picked up our friendship right where we left off. I got in on the news of my old school, we watched a movie and laughed at all the serious scenes, and made a song in Garageband, then recorded a music video of us dancing to it. All in all, I had a lot of fun, and felt completely included.
Perhaps this is a testament to the strength of our friendship.
Or perhaps this is just because nothing changes out here anyways, so I didn't miss much.
Or perhaps I should go back to eating easter candy and messing around on the computer, and stop over analyzing the situation.

Either way, I'm relieved to know that I will have people to hang out with this summer.
