You know that's your friend when,

they somehow know how you're doing,
they ask how your day was,
they don't ask for anything other than your friendship,
they make time to meet and catch up,
they are waiting to tell you how they have been,
they surprise you with a random hello.

This holiday has been good because it's been a bite size dose of growing up. And when everyone get's busy, you begin to realise the friends that will always try and be there for you. You can do all you can to try and nurture a waning friendship, but the real friendship is effortless and doesn't require too much thought. The funny thing is that you don't realise who your real friends are until the rest have disappeared into the background.

This holiday I've got to appreciate the company of friends who I've never fully appreciated. And when school starts I am so looking forward to seeing these friends.
