I woke up this morning knowing my best friend had boarded a plane to Taiwan for the year.

I miss him.

I got a text that made me want to cry, and I sent him encouraging words back, but inside I felt like I was missing my best companion. He's seen me through so many phases, all the good, the bad, the growing pains, the weird in-betweens, the loneliness and all emotions... I guess in this forced trip was really to help him grow, and I hope that he fulfills all his needs on his trip. While he's away... I'll have to grow to live w/out my 24/7 GPS system, and the voice of reason who picks up the phone no matter when... and talks me to sleep.
