Randomness of the Day

I woke this morning with a lot of nervous energy after a night of bizarre dreams and little sleep. I could not quite place what the feeling was in my stomach, as is the case with my particular brand of psychic - i know when stuff is going to happen but never exactly what and to what severity. Oh really, an example you say? Okay like the time I had a feeling of doom going to the grocery store only to have it subside once I saw they were out of the salsa I wanted (the sole purpose of said excursion).

Anyway, back to said nervous energy. I just didn't know what was going to happen. Would LA Boy call and demand I hop the next plane? Would I get a call from my dream job? Would I hear some super hot gossip? I did hear super hot gossip from my old job but that did not kill the feeling so I knew that was not it.

No, it was an email from a girl I have not spoken to in just about 6 years. She and I were super close and absolute best friends in high school and college. We stopped being friends when she began dating this complete asshole (I'm talking, like hitting her in Target kind of asshole) and she refused to get rid of him. I was unable to stick around to watch her self destruct and him turn her against me. I just could not watch this amazing, vibrant, beautiful person fall apart and I bounced. Granted, not the proudest moment of my life but I was 20 and who the hell knows how to cope at 20? Again, not an excuse but it seemed sufficient at the time.

Well there it was. Nothing sad or accusatory just an honest out reach. She really missed me and wanted to hear from me. I realized that I felt the same, I had been thinking a lot about her since moving back my hometown. Your ghosts of your youth are everywhere in a hometown and its hard to not think about the people who you no longer speak to and who you had such a tight bond. It's just cool. I'm hoping she'll understand why I had to leave her though it seems like she wants to forgive and forget and just move forward. I'm exciting. I love when unexpected things happen.
