Tonight, I had dinner with one such friend.
The thing about old friends is that you must be of a certain age to have them. The friendship is unquestioned and steadfast, regardless of the direction that either life has taken. And be aware that after you cross a certain threshold in life it becomes impossible to acquire any more old friends.
Old friends are best because they knew you when you were both punk ass morons. You can't fake it with an old friend, they see your bullshit from a mile away.
Time brings trust, and an old friend comes with no need for context. An evening with an old friend brings a lot of baggage, but it is so easily checked.
Acquire them while you can, because this truly is a limited time offer, while supplies last.
I know as you read this that you have someone in your mind. Maybe you should shoot them an email while you can.
Share a meal, share a drink, reconnect. I'm sure you'll find that everything has changed, and nothing much has changed.
While time waits for no one, some things in our lives are indeed timeless, thank God.
