Cloudy relationships

"True friendship is like sound health;

the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."

Charles Caleb Colton

Clouds.

My inspiration for the day.

When it come to clouds there are two ways ot view them:

1. Bringing bad weather

2. Providing shade from the heat

This is kind of a metaphor for one of my friendships. I have known this one person for four years. Our friendships has been very on and off. Any good times are followed by clouds of despair. I always think of this person as a storm cloud, bringing conflict and stress into my life. All throughout high school, our relationships has been this way. This year, we were on and off as usual, but near the end we had a five month span of not talking. After prom, we got talking again and decided to be friends again. A lot of people think we are just a storm cloud getting ready to go off, but I think we're finally turning into that cloud that brings shade from the sun. Something nice. Something enjoyable.

My point? Even complicated friendships can be resolved. It is worth the effort. Now, I can talk to this friend again. In fact this person made a copy of a new cd I wanted. That is the kind of friendship I always hoped that we could have again. Finally resolution at the end of high school. Finally growing closer instead of growing apart as many other of my relationships have been.

Its refreshing.
