But be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it
You just might get it

Do you have any friends from childhood still in your life?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for June that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

I moved around so much growing up that by the time I got to uni, a lesson I was taught was to not hold onto friendships too tight. I’d get close to someone and just as soon as we were vibin’, one of us would move.

Even the friendships that I had in school… I’m not sure how many of them were real and how many of them were transactional. We studied together, ate together, commiserated together, survived the same labs and exams. I found it comforting to have that bond with my fellow classmates.

But after uni, most of us scattered throughout the country. The updates about our lives and texts going back and forth slowly dissipated.

As for my Korean church friends, I thought for sure we were going to be friends forever. But once I stopped going to church, some of them condemned me for it while others drifted from the church themselves and we lost touch with one another.

And then there’s Maggie, who has friends from kindergarten. People who have gone through all the teenage angst, trials and tribulations, along with the lifetime milestones together and still stuck around. It amazes me because it’s a foreign concept for me. Those types of friendships sound so stable and nurturing.

That’s something I kinda wish I had… knowing that someone has known me long enough to remember who I was before I became who I am now.
