Nashvegas

I spent the weekend in Nashville with a friend. It may be one of the most entertaining cities in so many ways. I love the laid back feeling, despite the actual city, the resonates through Nashville. While I sometimes feel a bit unfashionable, I adore the style of those that live within the city limits. Kari and I couldn't help laughing at times; picking out people we were positive were going to be famous singers. Above all, it's an amazing city to just bop around. There's plenty to do and see and enjoy. At the same time, there are a plethora of places to just hang out and write or read.

Today, at the tail end of our adventure, we had breakfast with an old friend of mine. Despite not having seen each other in quite some time (I estimate six years), it was relaxing to sit and chat about what life looks like now. It was great to just listen to him and Kari converse and remember why we're friends. Sometimes, I get frustrated at friendships lost, but it is always fun to see a friend that you thought might be at that stage and just laugh at all your memories. Because it's crazy to think that we met when I was in middle school. It's even more weird to think about how much easier our friendship would have been these days with the ease of communication, but in the olden days, we had to work for it. I'm glad, that something like eleven years ago, we met and became friends. And that somehow, through the years, we kept it up.
