'Tis grand to reunite

I must divulge that the most grievous aspect about this strenuous summer past was sorely missing the folks and friends, not only those around and about La La Land, but particularly those diffused throughout the globe, with a couple of chums stirring up waves in NorCal, a pair impacting lives in the Big Apple, one on a relentless governmental mission in Chi-town, another molding the face of politics in the Capital of the World, and two making hefty headlines in Asia. To such a disclosure the dear roommate replied, "You have awesome friends who are full of ambition, so of course they're going to go all around the world to chase their dreams. If you had mediocre friends, you guys would all just be hanging out at the local Starbucks." An amusing nugget of wisdom thoroughly wrapped in truth, indubitably. Rock on, dear friends of the most amazing sort. I am cheering you on from the sidelines in the City of Angels.

Although I'm compelled to confess that I am cheeriest whence reveling in friendly folks' presence, from being buoyantly reunited with the dearest Media Maid bombshell princess herself as she makes an ephemeral pit stop back in Uncle Sam's land before shuttling off for grander undertakings once moreand genial gal pals whose encouraging company was much sought after,to commemorating an H-named homegirl's golden birthday, to bidding farewell to an ever lovely grad-school bound lady, but only for now.Such effectively epitomize the thrillingly volatile early-20s stage of life. Huzzah!
