Today in English class, we were discussing a play called Everyman. In the play, a character named Fellowship (who symbolizes friendship) basically bails on Everyman when he needs help the most.

This leads to our teacher connecting the scenerio to modern day, and how most of us will not be friends with the people we are now. I mean, how many different best friends have you had since you were young? I've had a lot, but I feel like I've finally found the people that are going to be my life-long friends. Finally, after all this time, no more best friends moving away or not wanting to be my friend anymore.

It is probably true that most of high schoolers don't stick with the same people after high school, but I don't want that to happen. I'm scared that it will because it's so easy to let people go that you don't see a lot. I just really don't want it to happen, but I know it probably will so now I'm just sad.

But even if it does end up happening, it really just shows us that we should enjoy these friends and people while they're still a part of our lives. I'm gonna do my best to do that, and I am making a promise to myself to at least try to keep these people in my life because I honestly can't imagine having anyone else as my very close friends.
