Comic Con

So today I printed out my confirmation pages for Comic Con. I got me excited because now it feels like it's just around the corner.

What is it about the Con that makes it so special? When you're there and you're walking the exhibit hall it seems like the outside world doesn't exist. No work, no school, no bills, no drama. Nothing but a playground for children and adults alike.

Perhaps part of the appeal of Comic Con (or any other convention at that) is there is something magical about being surrounded by thousands of people who share common interests in what you like. It's a place to meet and make new friends. Every year I know I look forward to seeing familiar faces. People who I've connected with.

So right now it's the beginning of June and as July approaches I become even more excited to see who will be there, who I might get the chance to meet, and most of all I am excited to walk the main floor for the hidden treasures I might find.

Friends

I think I finally let go of a friend today. I realize now that sometimes when people change, it isn't for the better. I'm really sad at the moment. I'm sad I lost that friend. It's like one day you know someone and the next day you can't even recognize them. You see how naive they've become and how they have put themselves on a high horse. I never give up with friends but I guess there is a first for everything. I'm tired of being the only one trying.

I am blessed however to have a group of real true friends wont change their personalities on me. I thank them. I thank them for sticking by me and for putting me in check when they think I need it and keeping me who I am. I gladly return the favor when they need to be checked. That's how we stay friends. We tell it like it is and trust them,

I can only move forward right now and I know I 'll meet more people in the future and make more friends to bring into the group. More level headed and down to earth people. People who will stay true to themselves.

To my friends who don't give up so easily: I Love You
