The best kind of friends in the world are sometimes the ones you don't necessarily always get to talk to or see very often because you're just really busy with life and work and study, but that doesn't matter you're still best friends no matter what. I am so grateful to be able to say that I have a handful of those kind of friends - the ones that are like sisters to me, the ones who know what I am thinking when when I don't even know what I'm thinking or feeling myself and the ones who will be the 'aunties' to my kids.
Living an hour away from the Gold Coast and getting slammed with Uni assignments can make it difficult to find time to spend with some of my favourite people. There are no longer Tuesday Night froyo hangs, spontaneous drives to wherever or random beach trips. It's a bit more difficult to do stuff when our schedules are packed, yet unpredictable. One of my best friends is currently in Japan, and it has felt like a lifetime since she left! I wish there was such thing as a teleporting machine, even if you have to dispense a $2 coin into it every time you wanted to go somewhere. Unfortunately, there isn't such a device and the closest thing to teleporting is the Gold Coast Express train.
However despite these complications, I still think that our friendships are stronger than ever. I guess it makes us appreciate each other more when we don't see each other for a while and one day just hang out. It does take effort though, I'm not going to lie. There have been plenty of times where both parties have agreed to hang out or at least want to, but the busyness of life and all it's dilemmas just get in the way.
No matter what happens, no matter what we do or where we end up, my gal pals are those ONCE IN A LIFETIME kind of gal pals to keep for the rest of existence.
