Let’s go bro 🇮🇹 (Taken with instagram)

I had this friend in middle school. She was the new kid in 7th grade, and she sat right behind me in science class. We literally clicked instantly. We were so close for the next few years. Once high school came around thins we’re still amazing. She to this day she was one of the best and most compatible friends that I have ever had.

Needless to say, things kinda changed by the time we were 17. She had a new boyfriend that I had known for years but once he got involved in some gnarly drug use I didn’t really want to be around him. It was around that time that she and I stopped talking. I didn’t know why. I wished I had known, but never received the closer from that friendship that I wished that I had had.

Ever since, she has always been on my mind. I always wondered how she was and where she ended up. I wrote many emails to her, but deleted them and never sent any to her. I thought I would be making a cool out of myself, so I didn’t bother trying anymore.

Fast forward to the present. She sent me a message and asked for my number because she wanted to talk to me. I was a bit skeptical, but gave it to her anyways.

We talked forever. It was awesome. We just fell right back into our old friendship and we were both relieved. She asked how I had been, what I’ve been up to, how my life is etc. and I did the same. Then she told me about her reason for calling me. She wanted to apologize for how she had treated me back in high school. She told me she was irritated with me when I brought a Bible with me to school for some personal research but there was more to it than that. She put it simply: I was on a search to find myself, and she was on a mission to lose herself. She and her boyfriend at the time had started using heroine amount other substances and she was mad at me for not wanting to do them with her. I never knew that. She told me about the downward spiral she went on, eventually ending her engagement to her boyfriend and moving across the country. She put it as though she was going to die if she didn’t make a change. She had seen several friends die from addictions and she wasn’t going to be one of them. She got some help and joined a NA group and has been clean for sometime now. Over a year! I was so happy to hear that.

All those years of worrying and now I know that she is okay. I’m so proud of her. I couldn’t even possibly imagine how much strength it took to overcome such a powerful addiction. I’m happy she’s alive. Her ex is now sober as well which makes my heart so fucking happy. She’s coming back to CA for a visit and we’re totally hanging out. I’ve missed her so much and I’m so glad she’s in my life again. I’m so glad she’s alive. It was amazing to get that closer I needed, but evening amazing to have her back in my life.

Crazy where the years take you..
