My best friend has a birthday soon and we were talking about how I'd like to go to his birthday party and do all of this stuff together but can't because there's this whole distance thing between us.

And it makes me wonder...

I mean, I've been assuming for ages that as we got older it'd get easier for us to spend time together. But now that I am older I'm starting to think... What if it doesn't?

The more freedom to move we have, the more responsibilities there are to tie us down. Not to mention, the price of gas keeps going up and I don't even have a driver's licence or a job let alone a car or insurance.

It scares me. I've always had the hope that eventually it'll be easier for us to visit each other... And maybe it will, but that hope is fading... I'm lucky I get to see him as often as I do... And I just miss him.

That's really all this is about. I have a good friend, he lives far away, and I miss him.

Missing people is hard.
