Shit.

My girl Sydney has been in Texas for the last 5 days giving me a taste of what life will be like without her when she blows Augusta for bigger and better things in Fort Lauderdale at month's end. And man, it tastes like shit. Over the last few months I've been dealing with the slow burn on our relationship since she got herself a boyfriend, but we've managed to hang on by a thread and remain close. The girl is like my rock, we car pool to work and share a lot of ourselves in my tiny Echo. Syd has served as my personal trainer, egging me on to go to the gym each day. And with her gone, I haven't gone once.

Since moving to Augusta I have made friends, but none that rival the strength of my bond with Sydney and Joolie. Dropping down to just Joolie isn't a bad thing, it just means I'll have one less person I can trust, confide in, hang with and more importantly laugh with. Sydney has a propencity for making me feel at ease about myself. When I feel sad, she makes me feel better. When I want to grab some beer and just sing karoake in my apartment, she will gladly duet with her off key voice. When I want to see a scary movie, she will come watch with me and laugh as I scream like a girl.

Life without Sydney. Damn. Thinking about it makes me feel terrible. There will be a void to fill in my life. One that may take some time to fill. Sydney is just that kind of girl.
