We've got a long long way together...through the hard times and the good...

Lets talk about friendship.
Life is pretty interesting. You never know who you'll meet. In one of the episodes from How I Met You Mother Ted says to his future wife's roomate "I feel like our paths are meant to cross and I don't wanna miss out on getting to know you." I think that's what happened here with Guitar Hero and me. Our paths were meant to cross and they did and things got real bad for a while, but now I feel the reason behind all that heartache, drama, anger, and frustration has finally emerged. I guess we were meant to be good friends. Really really good friends. Most friendships aren't equally balanced. There is usually a compromise where one gives more than he/she gets. I feel my relationship with my Older Sis is sort of like that. At times I feel she's giving more and at times I feel I am. But this past week with Mr. Beanpole things have so generously fallen into place. It makes my heart happy. I used to feel we met because I needed someone last semester and now that I have my brother with me that acquaintance would come to an end. But like I said life and people are unpredictable. Despite all the craziness in both our worlds, we've not only managed to salvage a friendship I predicted was disappearing, we've managed to cement it. Now I want to say its one of those forever friendships, but I'm skeptical (as is my nature about friendships). On the other hand Mr. Rockband is seriously and 100% sure this is one of those forever friendships. And true to his world, he passed the ultimate test of friendship.
When a friend, specially a new one manages to destroy something precious there are two ways you can react. You can either destroy them or you can be the bigger man and just walk away. But in both scenarios the friendship is over. I managed to delete something so precious I deserved to be slapped. But Mr. Beanpole not only held his temper in check he gave me a second chance, holding no grudges or hatred in his heart. If anything this raises the bar of this relationship.
I can only hope I can meet the standards he's setting and rise beyond them. Some things in life are precious and I'm beginning to think this may be one of those things. God make me strong and help me be a better friend. Amen.
