1975
I have just recently come to the realization that 1975 was probably the most important year of my life. At the tender age of 19, I had many life changing events. I finally adapted to being away from home. I realized my sexuality. I experimented with drugs for the first time. I went to jail for the first and only time of my life. (Thank God.)
What makes that year so remarkable though is that I made friends with a handful of people that would impact my entire life. It has taken me 32 years to recognize the importance of those relationships that were started so long ago. I have made friends throughout the years, but none so everlasting as these.
At 51, I finally believe in forever.
I will love and be loved by those friends forever.
And for that, I am blessed.
