Breakfast for Two — Reconnecting with Old Friends

A rare moment of social interaction for me today as I met up with one of my oldest friends from my high school years. A simple breakfast for two at a local restaurant (Café Lani).

Coffee, carbs and conversation. Not bad for a Saturday morning, certainly not bad for someone in my shoes. I normally don’t eat out these days. Too many crowds, too much feeling like I’m about to crawl out of my own skin but it was good to catch up with a friend I haven’t seen in person in like eight years. We spoke of the ups and downs of life, family, politics. Nothing earth shattering but comfortable.

It is rare that you have friends that you can pick up after years and still carry on a conversation and I suppose that goes to how I’ve often chosen to make friends. Caliber and closeness of friends over quantity has always been my thing. I don’t keep a very big circle but the friends I do keep, I hope feel comfortable being themselves around me, good or bad.

I don’t know what 2017 will hold for me. 2016 felt like a year of loss, a year where I made mistakes, lost my way, lost parts of myself and my past. Maybe the upcoming year will be a chance to rebuild and climb back to something resembling ‘normal’. Truth be told I don’t even know what normal is these days.
