[From The Smart]

"Sometimes God gives you folks; sometimes, he takes them away."

During college, I've made some goods friends, one of which I'd call a best friend. Now, my general rule is to keep this blog at arms length when it comes to my personal life, but that rule is clashing with this entry. [From The Smart] entries are supposed to be about my life, and this has been on my mind for the past week, but I refuse to get into specifics.

My best friend and I have been speaking to each other everyday since summer started, but for the past few days, I have been unable to get in touch with her. Calls have turned up nothing, and the friends the two of us share haven't heard from her either. I hate to say it (because it makes me feel egotistical) but I may be the best friend she has, which makes me worry worse. What kind of best friend am I when I can't be there for whatever she's going through? I'm not her father, and I'm not her boyfriend; I don't need constant updates about her current location and status. I just want to know she's okay.

That is all for now.
