This is a tough one, this week! There are people in our lives that we certainly miss and being able to narrow it down is a bit tough.
I’m going to go with a group of friends that I miss. Thankfully none are dead that I’m aware of but the group of friends we had when we skated all the time. That large friendship is what I think I miss a fair amount. Nowadays, getting older and with jobs, kids and stuff, it’s easy to lose contact with them. Some I’m really glad I lost contact with as they are shitty people but some of them were pretty good friends. Turns out a bunch of them were just selfish, if you don’t reach out to them they don’t make the effort so that was something I realized later on, and why we aren’t in contact anymore. We used to have a lot of fun skating, partying and hanging out. We were a pretty tight group of dudes, skated daily, partied weekly and overall had a good time but kept it minimally shitty/violent. I wasn’t the glue they tied them together that some of them were but I wasn’t on the fringes either. Having a big group of friends like that is something I miss and hope to have again one day, physical friends. It will probably be through the little man where we make those types of friends again but a group of them is just something I’m looking forward to.
