Aristotle Said, "A Friend To All Is A Friend To None"

That quote couldn't be more true. I'm very weary of people who have 'many' friends; it isn't possible. I have quite a few and it's draining in it's own way so I can't imagine having many. Friendships are relationships that need nourishing, it's a garden the way I see it and not one person alone can take care of a big ass garden!

There are only 10 people I call my friends. 4 out of that 10 I consider my close friends and only 1 is my best friend. I have had friends that had many friends and they weren't good friends. 

Obviously I'm writing this post for a reason. I lost a few friends these past 2 years that I considered to be very close with, but when certain situations arisen, they didn't come through and it was a deep loss. I never thought losing a friend would hurt so much because I never really lost a friend out of the blue. You have friends that time and distance gets in between, but this wasn't the case. 

It definitely makes you re-evaluate everything and reflect, however makes you stronger and appreciate the friends that you do have and be more grateful. One of the people I consider a close friend of mine once told me that he was sad because he only has two people he can really call a friend. I told him to count his blessings because there're people who hang out with an abundance of friends and none they can really lean on.

Window Seat

"...so can I get a window seat? Don't want nobody next to me. I just wanna ticket out of town to look around and a safe touch down..."  - "Window Seat" by Erykah Badu

So my journey down to Charleston, SC, wasn't such a pleasant one. My train was supposed to depart at 6:15am, but there was something wrong with a wire and the train was 2hrs delayed. Mind you, I had to take a cab all the way from north bronx down to penn station which ended up being a $50 ride and normally I would have to took my cheap ass on the local bus and train, but it was a Sunday and local buses, express buses, nor metronorth trains run that early until 6am so I was left with no other choice.

Anywho, I had a window seat all to myself until probably after 2 hrs and that passenger sat next to me till we reached DC and I specifically remember this because we had to wait 30min because of a change of engine or some crap...like seriously...*rolls eyes*. After that there were no more delays and got to Chucktown at 9:20pm. *Sighs* ridiculous, but I know the ride could of been worst, I could've been stuck sitting next to someone for a whole 13hrs!

So far this vacay has been great for me. I know it would be boring for others, but the fact that I can actually relax and not hear my name called several times a day, is good enough for me.

I'm far from going back home yet, but I'm already planning out what to do next when I touch down in the Big Apple. There's no doubt I'm going to apply for jobs like crazy, but I do want to go in a certain direction. I'm not sure if I should attempt to get into film casting, stick with fashion, or something different. I am a bit interested in becoming a wine connoisseur, even bought a book of wine, but who knows. 

So now I'm going to catch up on my internship.


Bonne Nuit!
