Overheard:

"...so I have a friend who was dating a guy for a few years and recently announced to her family that they decided to get married. She told them that she picked the date and the place. And then a few days later, her cousin announces that she also wants to get married to her boyfriend of a few weeks, and goes and books the same place on the date the girl announced..."

Damn, I really thought that people only do that on the reality TV Shows.

This morning as I was walking in a crowd transferring from train to train, the young guy (in his twenties) was walking in front of me in a knee length shorts. You could see his calves and on each of them he had a tattoo of the heart and inside of the one it said "Friends" and in the other one it said "Family." Although it looked a bit weird, red hearts on the pale hairy flesh, I thought I understood what he was trying to communicate. Those two things are really important for the individual. These people help you walk through the life. As I am getting older I realize more and more the importance of the family. Back then when I was in my 20s I thought that my friends are my family. As time progresses I more often see that friends come and go and your family is still there for you.
