Si quelqu'un veut un mouton, c'est la preuve qu'il en existe un.
Hey again Internet,
Just wanted to let you know something. I have yet again realized that I am growing up. Now I know you've heard this before and are probably tired of hearing it, but I just need to say that it is now clear that I am becoming an adult. Completely and unarguably clear.
Tonight I went to the wedding of one of my oldest childhood friends. And I have to tell you Internet, it was funny to think that a person I grew up now has a different last name. And obviously I've had friends that have gotten married before, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. But I've known this particular person for the past 21 years, and it was weird to say that I was going to the wedding of somebody that I grew up with. It's one thing to go to the wedding of somebody that you met in college or high school, but it's quite another thing to go to the wedding of the person who you built forts with in first grade.
And I needed you to know, Internet, that this wedding really made me realize what family is. I feel like this is another realization that I make very often, but I think that it is important to recognize that feeling when it comes to you. The feeling that there are people in the world you care about you, who care about what the world is like because you are in it, who care about not just your presence but also your absence. I want more than anything to be able to feel that all the time.
I want to constantly feel like I am not just in the world, but also a critical part of someone's world. And I think that would be nice.
Right.
I feel like I should end on a less philosophical note . . .
There was one brownie left in the fridge, and I ate it with no regard for other peoples' claims to it. It was delicious, and I have no regrets.
Best of luck to the happy couple!
Love always,
-jim.
