Reunion Weekend...

This weekend we must have stepped in a time portal - lately we've been running into many ghosts from the past...

First stop on memory lane ran us straight into our old BFF, the one we met on the first day of middle school yet haven't really talked to since the second year of university. We'd like to say we'd grown apart organically. But to be honest, we're sure we fought over a boy. A fight, that for the life of us, we can't really remember the why. Definitely a boy who means absolutely nothing to either of us these days. Ah, the days when we were still learning to trust, shockingly unaware that no matter what you do or say, sometimes they still cheat. Yet, when you finally learn to trust 'em, sometimes they surprise you, and that's what makes it worth it. But this isn't about boys (even though we shared some of our best boy-crazed years together!). It's about girlfriends. In the end, we cried over that break up more than we've ever cried over a boy. And so, we're glad that we reconnected for a jaunt down memory lane. Or actually, a beer at tiki bar and post-bar dinner! It may never be the same, but it's nice to not be strangers.

This week's excitement didn't end there. We also ran into our first. crush. ever. Now this one, ladies and gents, pre-dates the middle school days and starts smack in the kindergarden years. We shared this crush with another of our best friends. (See! Once upon a time, we did learn to share!). We even wrote about it in our school journal to our grade 2 teacher (she told us he was a nice boy - no wonder it didn't work out...). And so, as we look at him, we begin to think. Clearly, what we thought was love was far from. Well, maybe you could call it puppy love. But it does teach us that what we think we love, or loved these days, maybe could be that much greater. Maybe if we're patient (even though if you know us, you know patience is just as much of a swear word as sharing is to us!) our perfect guy is just around the corner.

Food for thought!
