I've come to realize

a few things lately. And it's me, and it's late at night, so if you know me, you know it's time for...a list.

I've come to realize
   That you will never feel understood by some people
       That some people will always be far away friends, even when they are close.
               That some people will only be friends when they feel like it.
                        That you can go out of your way for friends but eventually the tide will turn and they may or may not go out of their way for you.
                                        That pants are warm to sleep in but hard to keep from bunching up.

That some people will never realize how much work goes into a friendship
                    That sometimes I'd rather have chocolate milk than an alcoholic drink
       Some people will surprise you with their goodness
                            Others acceptance really isn't as important as you may have thought
