What I Miss... Just Sitting By The Beach

f8 @ Duka Bay Resort 2011

This photo is from our beach outing @ Duka Bay Resort last year, 2011. This year we went to Ilocos and it  was fun. We got to visit cool new places and see breathtaking sights. Some were literally breathtaking to get to because we had to climb a bunch of stairs and had to take a hike for a few minutes. But it was all worth it. Everything.

What was missing in the tour, aside from Kat, is what you see in the picture. I miss this. I miss just having to sit with these individuals that I don’t have too much in common with and just be. One teacher-friend once told me that I have a unique set of friends. “There is unity in diversity” were her words. That was how she described it. I didn't think of it that way then but she’s right. And I realized that it’s fine. It’s okay. It is true that we have different likes and sometimes, even our ideas don’t click but we all get along. We are friends.

Then came reality. We can’t do this forever. Eventually, we have to, we need to go our separate ways. But I’ll never forget what this picture means to me. That feeling I had that night, is what I missed the most. I'll treasure their friendship for as long as I can.
