Lights, camera, action.

I wonder if anybody’s lives are as exciting as ours. Since secondary, we’ve lived nothing short of a soap, and just when I thought we had outgrown the phase, it’s come right back and hit us. The pictures we take show nothing of the undercurrents of emotion that fill the spaces around us as we stand, arm in arm, cheerfully grinning at the camera.

I think, though, that no matter what happens, our bonds of friendship will hold strong. Most of us have known each other for fifteen years, some for eight. Not much can destroy the experiences that stretch back that far. Even if we don’t like what we’ve become or how things have turned out, there are always the lighter moments when we forget the animosity and laugh like 12-year-olds.

So although some might feel like they’re not really ‘part of the group’ anymore or think that the friends that they once knew have turned on them, there’s no way on earth that that can ever be true. I mean this is Hollywood, and there’s always a happy ending.
