Consistency pt 3

Flashback to the memorial service for my friend who passed away. After the service was over everyone was together and catching up with old friends. Hearing his friends and family talk about his life. And the common theme was, that his life was set at such a high level in every aspect that you couldn't help but evaluate your own life. I thought of my friendships and family relationships... and question their depth. That night, a friend came up and was I love you man. I know we ain't the tighest of friends, but its not like out friendship is shallow either". It truly made me think. Earlier, I ran into my old roommate from college, who lives 20 minutes away... yet I haven't seen him months.

Fast forward a couple weeks, a friend said "Justin you have too many cliques, you need to get rid of some." There was a point to those words. It seems that I am always trying to fit the puzzle pieces into a cohesive weekend. Sometimes things work out(through LUCK, metro/walking, major planning), sometimes I get the best of myself and just give into the first or most "pressing" thing (Birthdays, going-away parties, weddings, family stuff). So I have to find the best way to be consistent+ with my friendships and relationships and commitments. I added the "+" to signify that friendships should get "deeper" or at least, I should be more proactive/sharing/open/"in the moment".


This upcoming weekend seems like one of those. Graduation at my old school, and the last few people there are graduating so that is Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully I can also get a needed haircut tonight, which will take time. Saturday night there are couple ideas of things I want to do or go, the weather should be awesome and I'm getting more addicted to taking pictures. Its also the DC 48 hour film festival, now I;m a little glad I missed that deadline, although doing that would have been an awesome experience. Just looking into the next few days, there are a number of things going on and different people and groups of friends that I have commitments toward, but I believe! It may not be easy, but I'm gonna ensure that it is fun and am sure that there will be a number of pictures capturing some great memories. TGIF!!!
