Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

These past two weeks, I've been in the place I moved from, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Three words.

Fun. As. Hell.

Virginia Beach is where I met all my close friends. Kaleigh, Jacob, Chris, Reid, and Ray-ray. Well, Ray's not on Gaia, but still. Best friend.

I already made a journal entry on four of these people, the ones on Gaia, but, I feel like making an account on my re-uniting with them.

When I was with all my friends in Virginia, everyone of them, with each individual, I felt happy. Nothing could break me down in those moments. The only thing is that I teared up a bit at night, when they were asleep, because I was sad that this was only a limited time with the people I loved.

Even if we didn't do really anything super special, like going to Busch Gardens or something, I thought this trip was really significant and heart-warming. It brought back memories... back when I lived in Virginia and went to their houses all the time, we didn't do anything really. But I still enjoyed just being with them.

At Kaleigh and Jacob's house, we did nothing SUPER DUPER special. We went to the pool and played video games and all that, but we always did that when I was a resident. But, what felt good, is that during those moments, it felt like I never moved. I felt really good, just being with them, my first friends, my neighbors, the first ones who really warmed up to me and accepted me as their best friend.

At Reid's, we did the classics, drawing, listening to music, and harassing her dad for being a bad dancer. Went out for Mexican, like we always did. Ha, I wasn't too sad for leaving her house when I had to go, because Reid, she's the one who always talks to me, at least once a week, closest contact. Sometimes when we call each other, we really have nothing to talk about, but I don't hang up or anything, because I just like knowing that she's there.

At Chris's, that probably brought back the biggest blast-to-the-past. When I first heard him on the phone when I called him for plans, whoa, he sounded mature.
His voice got lower so my reaction was just... O_O. It's amazing how much people can change in a year. I thought he totally would change.

WRONG. He's the exact same. The same guy I crushed on in 3rd grade. Same guy I became best friends with in 4th grade. Same guy I was a little b***h to in 5th grade. Same guy that I went to a different school than, but still talked, at least in the summer, in 6th grade. Same guy who I last saw in summer, while the moving day to Massachusetts came. Same guy who came in the morning, 7:15, to say my good-byes to. Same guy who gave me that hug, that I never wanted to let go of.

And when I was hanging out with him, we hosed each other down to the ground, along with our younger siblings, with water, on the hot summer day of June 30th. We played video games, had cheeseburgers, played more video games, went upstairs, played computer (you see, I live on technology), went out to 7/11, got Slurpees, teased our siblings that they were dating, started skipping down the side walk, holding hands, like idiots might I add, played even MORE computer (xD), and then gave me, once again, the last hug, before leaving for Massachusetts.

But, all four of my friends, gave me the same impression: what it was like to have true friends. True, loved, friends, who I care about more than the world.

In Massachusetts, I have friends, and they're pretty cool, but they just don't give me the same feeling that my Virginian friends gave me. That's why I don't like Massachusetts as much as Virginia, I guess. Virginia is my true home, that's the place I want to be. I guess, I'm just... homesick.

That's why these past two weeks, I haven't had any stress. My face has cleared from acne, my sister and I haven't fought at all, and I'm constantly laughing.


I'll come back to Virginia again for a visit. And when I do, I know I'll get the same results, no matter what happens there. True friends.
