thankful

this is a very personal post.

tonight i had dinner with a very dear friend. we started out with a simple dinner at some place in mega and ended up having coffee after. it was one of those special occasions where you catch-up, talk, laugh, talk some more, and laugh some more, and all through out you haven't noticed the time until it's time to go. we had talked about almost everything there was to update between us, and yet we still can't stop talking. there was never a silent moment with this friend. i missed his jokes, his light demeanor and the way he looks at life as if there was always a choice, and he's right. i consider him one of the most charming people in my life.

then i realized i have the most charming friends to date. seriously. i have had that same type of "dinner date", "drink", "overnight", "sleep-over" in the past month or so. i have done the catch-up, sorry, dream, family, self-actualization sessions and i want more. they know who they are and, at this point, i feel so blessed to have them in my life. my high school friends, college girlfriends, a few special co-workers i've been with, and a few special people i have met in between. if i'm with them, we can talk for hours, and i always have this feeling we're on the same page. everything just flows, and i am just myself with them. i must have done something right to deserve them. (this is sooo not cheesy).

note to self: so this is what a break-up does to you eh? you finally see that there's more worthy people to spend your time with, and that you should try hard not to take them for granted anymore. this goes to my two shrinks too, mama and papa.
