Real or imagined. A pal of mine passed recently and I’d written a little story about him being a lovable menace and it’s so lovely to look over the memory without it being tainted. Just a solid memory of him being exactly how he was

👨And I mean from what happened at dinner last night to way back to the roads taken, the hearts broken and the debts paid and left outstanding by our billion partial creators.
The stories are just as good as anything you could find in a bookstore, but so much more fragile. Grandma's memories are alive in her grandchildren, uncle's sadness is now more understood by his nephews than himself, but time is gnawing all everywhere forever.
Just a simple written note can be enough to revive the history in the mind and thus, make it easier to pass down.
Of course, perhaps some stories are meant to be eroded; that's for each to decide.

💔i have a friend named Danny who’s always just so quiet. he‘s very dear to me but he doesn’t talk much, and mainly when I’m spending time with him it’s because his boyfriend wanted to hang out and he happened to be there too. Sometimes when I come over and he’s having a tough day he’ll go to another room, and I thought for a long time he was just a pretty sad, anxious dude. or Maybe he just didn’t like me that much, but I’ve seen him act this way with other people too. So he’s probably just introverted.
today, I was talking to the aforementioned boyfriend, and some old pictures of danny came up in conversation. We ended up looking at pics and videos of him from about a year and a half before we met and hes such a different person — a bubbly, ridiculous guy — and he smiled. It broke me to realize, I never ever see danny genuinely smile. Not when we’re doing board games, or watching movies together, or having a meal.
I’d really never met that Danny. the one E fell in love with, and who could always make his friends smile because he couldnt help but smile when he was with them. the week after he visited his mom, after her cancer went into remission, I met a version of him — I got a glimpse of a happier man who cracked jokes and teased and got excited — but it faded, and once again he pulled himself from one day to the next.
There’s not a word for that kind of sadness, the feeling of losing someone you never had before. I hope in time he’ll heal, and I’ll see him face to face like I see him in those old pictures. But for now he’s many states away, and in my mind, his color is blue.

👥A method ive developed with coping with losing friends i wont get back is to pretend they died tragically right before they did the fucked up Thing they did. This way i can preserve the memory of them being a good friend before they became evil. Example: “Aw, this is something [friend] would’ve loved….. Too bad they died. In a terrible car crash. And never did evil evil things.”

30th birthday theme was “little miss” not the characters just the energy of being a little miss. The fits were so good my heart is so full

👫All my friends are great and I love to hang out with them and feel loved & to be silly, and when they hang out and get along I'm like damn I’m really killing having a rich social circle and deeply fulfilling friendships.
If you’re a reflection of your three closest friends (or whatever that saying is) I’m a god damn god. My friends are the best and I love them SO MUCH
