best friends

once upon a time i met this great girl. we became friends . . . we endured all of life's challenges together; we learned with each other, from each other and about each other; we loved, we cried, we were angry, we were on cloud nine . . . all with each other. we are still friends today, 15 years later. when we were in high school we decided we were going to keep journals for each other. we were going to write in them almost every day and then trade them so that we had the others thoughts to read. we did this religiously . . . for a whole month! i know that doesn't seem significant but it is one of my most cherished possessions.

see, for the past 7 years we haven't lived anywhere near each other. not even in the same country much less state or city. i had decided that a good way to keep her updated would be to use this idea and create a journal that would read like letters to her. when it was full i would send it to her and she would have it to do whatever she wanted with it. recently my privacy was invaded on a very personal level. things in that journal were not meant for other people to read but unfortunately it was. in order to spare additional pain, interrogation and possible future consequences the journal was destroyed. enter the idea to start an anonymous blog!

so, from here on out, the blogs will read like letters to my best friend. she's contemplating starting her own so that we can just trade sites and read each others entries whenever we have time. seems like a great option to me. i love technology!
