Far from home, but close to the heart

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned twenty and celebrated with a birthday shot at work. In the morning my dad made eggs benedict, my favorite. After class, on a beautiful 80 degree day, I picked up crabs for dinner. I was a great day. My best friends called me, and so did griffin. It was nice to talk to all of them. Looking at my facebook wall this morning, I can't help but be sad. There's so many friends that I haven't been able to see in months in colorado and in maryland. There's all these friends that I miss so much and they are all over the country and I just want to be able to stand in front of them and hug them hello. I wish my arms stretched across the nation. It's clear, that no matter where I am I'll always be far away. I'll always miss my friends. I just want to be surrounded by those i love, but that's impossible.
