The group

Have you ever had one of those times in your life where you finally figured out friends.
Right now is one of those times for me.

And it is so fantastic
.
Like I have my Friday night crew that we can go out and get a drink together and have some fun together. I trust these people to get me home and we all care about each other in a friend way and not in a romantic way, which definitely helps.
Carter, Mike and Stephanie are the core group.
We add people here or there but that's the group to go out with.
And over the next few months we'll probably add a few more because they'll turn 21.

I feel like in this point in my life I have finally figured out friends, which hasn't always been the case.
This time last year I had some friends but this year I've definitely learned to be a better friend and I've made a lot more friends this year than I have in my past 2 years at the fort.

Something about being single and I guess needing people and also having time to have friends. I am not focused on one person but multiple people.
Which definitely makes life a lot more interesting.
Less complicated because you don't have to worry about maintaining one all encompassing relationship.
That can consume your life and you shut out all the other meaningful relationships.
I can check up my friends, hang out with them, keep up to date on whats happening in their lives, and we are all happy.

I like being just friends.
This whole romantic ordeals are too complicated sometimes and my friendships seems to be more constant and meaningful which is what I need.
I don't need roller coaster relationships.
I need consistency.
I need steady.
And that's what I have with these fantastic relationships.

Thanks to all my Indy friends and classmates that I consider friends.
You are all the absolute best.
