  • Yesterday I hung out with Calvin and Jin in Chinatown. Afterwards, Calvin when to work and Jin and I went to play basketball with Vince at UIC. We balled for a couple hours, and then went to meet up with Kris and Peter at LA Fitness to ball some more. We ended up playing basketball from like 4:30PM-11:00PM that day. We wanted to check out this Mexican restaurant up north after working out, but the insane rain storm wiped out the power in the restaurant and we ended up hanging out at Subways instead. All in all, it was a good day... fun times.
    I guess these are the friends that I've been spending the most time with lately. I think as I get older, and life happens, I'm starting to rethink my views on friendship. Friends come and friends go, but then you make new friendships that are just as meaningful, or strengthen bonds with friends who have always been there. Sometimes the friends you think will be there for you your whole life disappoint you, and sometimes someone you think you will only know for a short time ends up becoming a close friend for years. I've always had a natural tendency to evaluate the friendships in my life based on how close we are or potential for closeness, and would always want to go deeper with the ones I choose to be friends with. However, as I get older, I'm learning to see things differently. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, and really, the only relationship that I can be certain of is my relationship with God. So I will treasure all the friends that are in my life and not worry about how close we are (or can be but aren't), and pray that I may be a blessing to them while they are in my life, however long that may be.
