(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I hope the term of people taking life for granted isn’t actually taken for granted and out of context. Life is indeed very short and you really should appreciate every waking moment it offers. During High School, I had many friends. Upon finishing and graduating, I realized how many of those friends were actually here to stay. Out of a countless number of friends I had back then, I still keep close contact with only a few of them. Close and real friends are hard to come by. So, when to they do, don’t let them go.

One of my few close long-term friends just had a baby and became a Daddy today. I’ve known him for many years and I still can’t believe he’s a daddy. Nonetheless, it put life in its proper perspective for me. Seeing him hold his little boy in his arms made me look at life in a completely changed angle. I saw and felt the unmeasured happiness on his face and it helped me shape my life.

Here’s a picture of the little fella, Mason.

So, my point here is that life is simply short. Enjoy it. Keep your enemies far, and your true friends very close by. The birth of one of my best friends child was definitely an eye opener. So, if you’re at an age where friends seem abundant, just keep in mind they aren’t forever. If you’re still in High School, just keep in mind your friends’ won’t be around forever. Upon graduation, many will go their separate ways. However, there will be a few than will still remain close. My friend here is one of them. The birth of his little baby boy aroused emotions in me in which I thought weren’t even possible; however, they are.

So, my friends of NGU, keep in touch with your close friends. It will ease your life by much in the years to come. I made this thread solely to display the importance of close quarter friendship.

So have you taught him how to Blaze it like one of the cool kids yet. Looks about old enough.

Haha, nope. He's not close to old enough, he was born last night. In the picture, he looks big, but that's not the case at all. Look at the size of the doctors/nurses hands and compare them with the baby :]

Congrates to your friend!
I've been there 3 times myself... long road ahead being a parent.
But worth it!

Congratulation, beautiful child.

I can second what 420 is saying. A lot of people I called friends in high school aren't here, they've all gone their separate ways. Thankfully all the people I call my close friends I'm still in contact with, and we do hang out occasionally especially if we find the time.

Not gonna lie, I do miss high school. Fastest four years of your life, and some of the best.

This is exactly what im telling everybody I know in HS. Life is WAYYYY to short to fuck around and do nothing man. Also, the whole friend thing is true. I had an abundant amount of friends in HS but ever since graduation, about 80% of them went their ways and havent talked to them since.

Anyways, congratulations 420's friend
